Prized icon has not won a race for more than two years but one Sportsbet punter believes the five-year-old is good for a place, wagering $10,000 at $4.00 in tomorrow’s Railway Stakes.
Prized Icon is a $13 chance to win the Ascot Group 1.
Local hope Galaxy Star is the $3.30 favourite just ahead of Darren Weir trained Peaceful State ($5.00).
Weir also has six runners in the Sportsbet Ballarat Cup, including favourite Lucky For All ($4.20), who is just ahead of stablemates Another Coldie ($6.00) and Kiwia ($8.50).
“It’s a brave punter that backs Prized Icon, because he just doesn’t seem to want to win anymore. But he will carry the lightest weight he’s had in years and he has notched a recent placing so tomorrow might be the day,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
