Verdict

I'M ODETTE (8) looks a nice filly on the rise, picking up from where she left off with a 0.3L victory at Belmont. Up to a CL3 here and she'll need some luck from the barrier, but she's a smart one on the way through and she can continue her winning ways. TRUE FICTION (1) won two back before a 1.1L defeat most recently in this grade when jumping the favourite at Belmont. Cheung remains in the irons and he has enough early speed to get across from the wide alley. Racing in top order this campaign and can go one better again today. ELEGANT RULER (13) finished off strongly to win first-up over 6 ½f at this track last time out. Back with a bang and with improvement expected second-up, she can repeat the dose. BELVEDERE ROCK (5) can improve second-up after returning without a trial in good order. SOSO LUCKY (2) can't be left out of calculations.
