Volkstok'n'barrell is the early Derby favourite in odds released today. He's at 6-1. I think he deserves it.
Caduceus, Rockfast, Elvis are the next three. Rockfast I agree with, but I think the other two have a point to prove.
Prince Mambo and Stratocaster are both at 25-1, which is a bit higher than I thought!
We get to see a few of these horses in some nice 3yo races this Fri/Sat - the G3 Wellington Stakes at Otaki on Friday and the Trevor Eagle Memorial at Ellerslie on Saturday.
Lucia Valentina won the Wellington Stakes last year, while the last three Trevor Eagle winners are Ocean Park, Habibi and Rising Romance!
