Verdict

ODESSA (3) has finished runner-up in Adelaide at the past couple of outings and looks to be working up to another victory. Saves her best form for this sprint journey and gets some weight off with the 3lbs claim. Should be right there at the business end. SAPPHIRE REIGN (6) has put back-to-back wins together and is racing with a lot of confidence of late. Winning hoop Newman sticks in the saddle and again gets the benefit of her claim. Looms as the main danger. MISS MCLAREN (5) may have suffered from the dreaded second-up syndrome last time out but the two wins to start the career were full of merit. Can bounce right back. IMPACT ZONE (2) is drawn to get a cosy run in transit from the inside marble and is a must for the multiples. POINT VEGA (1) is yet to taste defeat in two starts to date and shouldn't be discounted lightly.
