Opal Ridge clearly holds the call with Ladbrokes.com.au for The Kosciuszko (1200m) this afternoon at Randwick.

The Luke Pepper trained mare is the class of the field being a Stakes winner and Group l performer. She maps perfect and gets J Mac so she has plenty going for her and the market agrees, having her at $2.45.

Front Page, winner of the race last year, is at $5 on the second line of betting with bookies, clear of runner up in the race last year Far Too Easy, who is at $7.
