ODEGAARD (7) is close to breaking through after two consecutive placings, the latest coming when second over 1m1 1/4f at Home Hill after being prominent from the outset. Well placed this line-up and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. HEAD HONCHO (4) has been in the market at his last couple of starts but hasn't made an impression, last start finishing fifth over 6f at Townsville. Rates highly in this line up. Gets his chance. CANDLELIT (2) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just three times from 30 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when eighth over 7f at Townsville, beaten 5 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. ONE THING COUNTS (5) didn't make an impact at his last run before going for a lay-off on 12/03/2025, finishing tenth and beaten 41 lengths over 1m2 3/4f at Eagle Farm. Lines up. For the first time for trainer clinton taylor. Looks one of the genuine hopes in the race.
