At first glance Kusi & Hasna look to be nice EW odds at the moment.

Also like the odds currently on offer for Halibery & Hammerbeam.

I agree with you Betty Boop, I think Halibery is currently great odds e/w, and I'll be taking a piece of that first thing tomorrow. I'm pretty keen on Polar Success, and that's where most of my money will be going. Looking forward to the race. Good luck to all having a go.

Cheers,
Cosmo.

This is the only 2YO race I have a bet on all year.

From watching each horses campaign (without betting); I have been most impressed with Dorky's consistency, How Funny's competitiveness and Secret Land's ability to rise on occasion.

Having seen the barrier draw and jockey allocation, I am less keen on Dorky now (so watch it win!).

So it is either Secret Land to rise again or How Funny to race true to form this Saturday.
