Oamanikka ($5) and Takissacod ($5.50) are two of four horses quoted under double figure odds in the field of 12-runners.

Scott felt Takissacod who has won two of her past three starts as her best hope.

"You can't take anything away from the mare," Scott told The Daily Advertiser.

"To have three starts for us for two wins and a second in town, she's probably the one you've got to put on top.

"Oamanikka's been good. If you take away the run at Flemington, that wasn't a race that we targeted down there...he didn't overly disgrace himself, he was just a bit outclassed.

"He's drawn a bit better and seems to be racing a bit more on-pace.

"On how it lies, she probably deserves it, this is a race up her alley."
