Very good run last time Mav, looks a top hope. Can't underestimate the class of Dea and Trattoria is a good mare when right.
Opio Miss will start from the outside barrier and go back tommorow, usually a recipe for disaster, but this horse has not been given a chance to show how good she is this prep through poor riding. Last start was a farce with young benbow getting lost she was 5 and 6 wide the last 600 - 800 but still ran on gamely. There will be better speed here from mainly Ski for Kings who with the claim looks tough to beat. Spirit of Marscay has run seconds to Great Sandy, Senor De Lago, and Willie Command recently and would have to start close to favorite. Some good runs from others in the field but don't really rate them. Have no doubt Opio holds a class edge and is the 'best' horse, it will be good to see what she can do when saved for one last crack at them at this more suitable venue.
