Dutch runner and the world number two for this event Sifan Hassan will go into this race as the favourite but there is value to be had in the market behind her.
Ethiopian runner Ejgayehu Taye made full use of the 12 month delay to the Tokyo games, recording a personal best of 14:14.09 in June to book her ticket to Japan.
While a gold here may be asking a bit much of her, I would not be at all surprised if she works with her compatriots Gudaf Tsegay ($3 to win gold) and Senbere Tefere ($21 to win gold) to dictate the tempo of the race leaving her in the mix in the final straight.
It will be a tough race but one that she is definitely going to be up for.
