I had my doubts the moment James Macdonald talked her up as being better than Silent Achiever.

She was a good 3yo, you can't argue with that, but we are developing a terrible record of our top 3yos not coming back as 4yos, with one or two notable exceptions.

The mare opens at $2.45 for her next start! a tad short perhaps?

She is thrown in at the weights. She has won almost $2.2m. Two others have won $280,000 and $230,000, the rest well below $200,000. There are rating 63s and 67s in the race.

She really should be $1.80. I'm not saying she will win, she has done nothing this season to indicate she is back to her best, but she will never get an easier opportunity at big money.

almost word for word with a chat I had with a punting partner today, if i was to be having a bet, there might be some nice odds for a show bet!  (as in a 1/2 finish). I bet keen to see if O has improved in appearance! she was slightly underwhelming last time, other times she has present Large :)

However if she indeed has not come up as a 4yo she creates great value for another horse. The obvious one is Bourbon Princess $4 2nd fav but based on 3yo form last year there is a longer priced horse that will pay more for a place than either of the two favs are paying for a win.
