Aviatress holds the call with wagering companies for the Christmas Stakes (1200m) this afternoon at Sandown.

The Team Jolly trained mare let down with real purpose late to win the Doveton at Caulfield last time and looks suited at 1200m on the bigger track. She is favourite at $3.10.

Hedged is at $4 on the second line of betting, with Marble Nine at $8 alongside Nadal and Major Share. A Little Deep at $9.50 and is being kept safe with most betting sites.
