Latest Odds 

In what is a small field this year with only a maximum of five runners this appears to be a two-horse race between Buckaroo and Treaurethe Moment. Buckaroo, trained by Chris Waller hasn’t won for a while but has always placed at the track. Whilst Treasurethe Moment, trained by Matt Laurie,  suffered her first defeat to Pride of  Jenni when last out at Moonee Valley. The case can be made she might have won had she not had quite so much to do, and there is every reason to see her claiming the choccies again on Saturday.
