Star Kiwi mare Imperatriz is favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au for the TJ Smith Stakes (1200m) this Saturday at Randwick.

The Mark Walker trained ten time Group l winner has yet to prove herself in Sydney and a win here will cement her as the best in the world for sprinters. She is $3 to $3.30 but is a clear favourite with betting agencies.

I Wish I Win sits at $3.90 on the second line of betting, clear of Sunshine In Paris at $8.
