Espiona is even money with Sportsbet.com.au in their all in market for the Surround Stakes (1400m) this Saturday at Randwick.

Despite plenty of experts siding with Fangirl ($3.80) as their preferred choice of the pair, it’s Espiona who remains a dominant favourite, with Sportsbet.com.au not will willing to risk her just yet.

The interesting move at a longer price is Barb Raider, who won The Vanity on Saturday at Flemington. She has had specking at odds, suggesting she might come up for the Group l. She’s $26 to $17.
