Price is right for Caulfield Cup punters

Dual Group winning three-year-old Tarzino dominates Caulfield Cup betting.

The Mick Price trained three-year-old remains at the head of the market after weights were released. Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au reports strong backing for the Victoria Derby winner, who is the firm $13 favourite.

The Aidan O’Brien stallion, Highland Reel, firmed from $17 into $15 second favourite as has The United States.

Tavago, Jameka, and Provocative are next in line at $17. Other Aussie based horses Set Square ($26) and Our Ivanhowe ($21) also have admirers.

“Punters are putting their trust in horses they’ve seen on Australian tracks. Tarzino looks nicely weighted with 54kgs for the Cup and already holds a quarter of the money on the race. Tavago is next best, followed by Our Ivanhowe and Set Square,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
