“Nolen kicked away from Craig Newitt to win last year, and with the backing of the powerful Peter Moody stable, looks to be the man once again in Melbourne,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
Peter Moody has been opened at the Black Caviar price of $1.05 to win the trainers’ premiership, with Robert Smerdon next in the market at a distant $12.
