The mudlark, Rugged Cross, has firmed from $13 into $11 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.
Two Blue ($4.40) heads betting for the Listed race ahead of the Waller trained You’ll Never, with premiership chasing jockey Blake Shinn aboard, next on $5.50.
Shinn and James McDonald go into the meeting on level terms in the metropolitan premiership battle.
Shinn is $2.50 favourite for the title over McDonald ($2.60) and High Bowman ($3.00), who is one and a half wins behind.
“With the certainty of a heavy track punters have really come for Rugged Cross. He’s a swimmer and with the Waller polish is going to be one of the hardest to beat,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
