Verdict

ODEGAARD (7) has hit a purple patch of form of late with a win and two seconds from his past three starts and strikes a very winnable contest here. Revved up for this with a recent trial placing and should be there when the judge calls a halt. HEAD HONCHO (4) is a two-time winner over this six-furlong journey and is drawn to get all the favours from the inside marble. Rates a serious threat on best form. CANDLELIT (2) has placed one from one over this track and trip and will be at peak fitness for this. In the mix. ONE THING COUNTS (5) is having his first run for the new stable but should find this easier than what he faced when last in work. Keep very safe while fresh. ALBANIAN BAY (1) next in line.
