Verdict

THE ODYSSEY (1) charged home late to score at Ellerslie in his penultimate start, and then tried his heart out in the G3 Balmerino Stakes there 25 days ago in a race that had come too soon for him. He only needs a touch of luck from a wide gate, and he is the one to beat here. TSHIEBWE (7) faces his toughest test to date, and was run down late when finishing third at Waverley just over a fortnight ago. He has a few tricks, but has been more settled lately, and will probably be ridden with cover from his wide gate this time. Each way value. LEAVE A LIGHT ON (18) finished a brave third here over a mile fresh up last week, and if that run has not taken too much out of him, then he is a real threat in this. Include in all combinations. ENRICO (4) ran on too late at Tauherenikau 4 weeks ago when finishing fifth. His Trentham win before that is a good guide, and as a winner here in the past, he can bounce straight back into the money. KOPUA (5) is very fit, and not out of this.
