Verdict

ODESSA (7) is a consistent performer who has remarkably hit the top-five in all 12 starts to date. Gets some weight off with the 3lbs claim and will be at peak fitness for this. Rates the testing material. CHERRABAH (9) is a bit hit or miss but is more than capable enough on her day. Can play a role if she brings her A-game. HIDDEN NUGGET (2) got a well-deserved victory over this sprint journey last time out and will have taken a lot of confidence from that win. Include with the claim. OUT OF SQUARE (4) is a former SA galloper having her first run for the Gollan barn. Keep very safe. LUVA FLUTTA (3) will have come on with that first-up run now in the locker and can improve sharply.
