Aethelwulf is a clear favourite with online betting sites for one of the feature staying races this weekend, the Bart Cummings (2500m) this Saturday at Flemington.

The Matty Smith trained boom stayer is primed for a big race win and the market has him as a top seed, sitting at $2.50.

Juja Kibo is at $5.50 on the second line of betting, with Jennivamoose at $8.50 alongside Think Giant. Litzdeel is at $9.50 and has been solid in betting with top betting companies.
