EASTERN ODYSSEY (12) pushed forward from a wide draw last time and sat just off the lead, eventually drawing away to score by 0.8 lengths over 1000m at Orange. Jessica Brookes sticks. Well placed and should be in the finish. MAN FROM BRUSSELLS (5) stalked the pace when resuming at this track and trip last start then worked to the line steadily to finish second. Expected to go well again. MIDNIGHT DREAM (3) improved sharply on his sixth two starts back at Bathurst with success over 1000m at Orange three-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 2 lengths after being in the firing line on the turn. Nicely placed to give this a mighty shake. CAN DO IT (4) finished 3.5 lengths adrift in sixth last time over 1200m at Cowra in a disappointing performance. Likely improver with top-three prospects.
