Getta Good Feeling will be the red-hot favourite in Thursday's Crown Oaks – but one smart judge is cautious after a "soft" win less than a week ago.<\/p>\n

In the classic three-year-old race for fillies on Thursday afternoon, the Danny O'Brien-trained runner produced a dominant win to take out the Group 2 Wakeful Stakes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Form expert David Gately \ufeffadmits the $1.80 price is warranted, especially with jockey Mark Zahra<\/a> booked to ride once again.<\/p>\n

"It has been a great race for a long time and had a reliable form reference as a rule out of the Wakeful leading in," he said on TAB's Wide World of Sports preview.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\ufeff"I think she's at the top of the market for those exact, obvious reasons. Not only was it quite a dominant win, but it looked to be quite a soft win as well.<\/p>\n

"She is still learning her craft, I don't have any issues with her at the trip and she deserves to be favourite and will be really hard to beat."<\/p>\n

With two wins and four placings in six career starts, Getta Good Feeling is going to have the eyes of the racing world on her at Flemington.<\/p>\n

However, according to Gately, there are some other key horses that can't be ignored.\ufeff<\/p>\n

"I think Classic Gem can run a good race," he continued.<\/p>\n

\ufeff"I'm interested in the price at double-figure odds, I thought she was terrific off a wide run at Caulfield and you can tie that run in through the favourite.<\/p>\n

"I'm just drawn in by the price, it's as simple as that. She came wide in that last race and it was dominated close to the rail.<\/p>\n

"She is no good thing, but she's over the odds. \ufeffI'm just looking for a bit of value outside the favourite and there's plenty of value if you can get that favourite beaten.<\/p>\n

"I also like what Strictly Business did here in the Wakeful, she was second-up. She is the one with measurable upside and she interests me as well," he said.\ufeff<\/p>\n

Strictly Business ran second behind the favourite last Saturday by 1.3 lengths, while \ufeffClassic Gem's last start saw her finish fourth in the Group 3 Ethereal last month.<\/p>\n
