Rose Quartz dominates the Ladbrokes.com.au market for the main race at Flemington this afternoon, the Kensington Stakes (1000m).

The Grahame Begg trained mare has run well down the straight previously and was very good in the Doveton three weeks ago at Caulfield. Looks hard to beat this afternoon and market agrees, having her at $2.15 and she dominates betting.

Esta La Roca is on the second line of betting at $4.60, just clear of Yulong Command at $4.80. There has been specking at bigger odds for a 1000m specialist, Ashford Street, with his price now at $9.50.
