ODESSA (10) is a maiden galloper resuming. After a lay-off of five-and-a-half months. Closed last campaign with a fifth over 5½f in the G2 Blue Diamond Prelude (Fillies) at Caulfield, beaten 3.5 lengths. Fitter for two lead-up trials, including a win. Leading contender. BLACKLIP (1) was well held in the Festival of Racing Stakes won by Shining Smile over 5f at Flemington at his last appearance five months ago. Well placed in this company. ANGEL LADDER (8) sat on the pace when fresh from a lay-off last start but faded to be beaten 6 lengths when sixth over 6f at Flemington. One of the main contenders. SPLENDID MAGNUS (12) raced once in the maiden campaign when sixth at Sandown-Hillside over 5f back on March 12. Improver who can feature in the finish.
