Verdict

Terrific race with plenty of chances. ODEGAARD (4) is going better than form suggests. Has flown home to finish close-up fourths in far richer races the last two. Jumps quickly in trip but has done so before and has a win and a placing from two tries at this trip. Will be settling closer but finishing on hard. EL PENSADOR (9) ran well albeit safely held in town two back then dropped back to 7f at Townsville and got the money. Back up in trip but plummets in the weights and can measure up again. GOING NUCLEAR (2) is flying lately with back-to-back wins over the mile. Should prove hard to beat. JOURNALISM (3) had been racing consistently with three minor placings on end before finishing fourth most recently over 1m at Rockhampton. Will find this easier and should figure in the finish. THE PENSKE FILE (6) has claims on best.
