Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has Hallowed Crown and Shooting To Win as equal $2.70 favourites. Sweynesse ($3.40) is next best in the six horse field after a betting shake-up following the scratching of Scissor Kick.
“One of the top three in betting should win the race, but in these small fields tactics usually play a big part in the result. Punters are torn between Hallowed Crown and Shooting To Win, but there’s a also good case for Sweynesse,’’ sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson said.
In the other Group 1 on the program, Catkins is solid $2.80 favourite for the Canterbury Stakes. Another mare, Cosmic Endeavour ($3.10) is the other runner to be singled out by punters.
