Regal Zeus is favourite with wagering apps for the John Dillon Stakes (1400m) this afternoon at Caulfield.

The John McArdle trained gelding hasn’t raced since the Lord Stakes when a winner on Boxing Day and looks fine at 1400m. He is at $3.70.

Cafe Millennium is at $4.50 on the second line of betting, with Justadeel at $4.60. Hughes is at $7.50 and is being kept safe with new betting sites.
