Too Sassy

Age/Wt: 2/8-9 F: 31

Comment: Gained a just over 2l success in a maiden special weight when getting off the mark at the second time of asking three weeks ago; should get involved despite having more on her plate.

EW Places: 1/5 ODDS - 3 PLACES

Verdict: SWEET ODYSSEY looks set for a big run. He was behind Empire's Classic last time but can now turn that form around and the likely strong pace up front is a plus.

Sweet Odyssey

Age/Wt: 4/8-8 F: 583-

2/1

Comment: Not beaten far when third in a maiden claimer (bumped at the start) at Santa Anita last October; returns from an absence here; can have a big say as jockey's C&D record from low draws is useful.

Comment: Beaten half a length in a maiden claimer at Santa Anita in December; shown recent signs of improvement and admirably consistent; returns from a break here; if he can build on his latest effort then in the mix.

Poor Connection

Age/Wt: 3/8-9 F: 7-86

7/2

Comment: Failed to land a blow when sixth of ten in a maiden claimer splitting Makutu, Djoser and Brother Brother last month; looks the part on breeding (by Omaha Beach); in for a $62.5k tag here, up from $50k last time; needs to be respected.

Comment: Beaten a fair way when fourth in a maiden claimer three weeks ago splitting Makutu, Djoser and Poor Connection upped to this distance; deeper waters here (in for $62.5k here, $50k tag last time); should be in the mix.
