OLIVERS TRAVELS couldn't land the odds on his first go in this sphere when a recent third at Perth but still showed more than enough to suggest he can build on it and add to his two bumper wins. Sforza Castle and Ismael both have some fair form to their names too and can chase home Peter Bowen's 5yo in that order.
