Cairns Cup a wide open betting race

Namazu has been a revelation since heading to North Queensland and is favourite with Sportsbet.com.au to continue his winning ways this Saturday in the Cairns Cup (2100m).

The former Godolphin galloper is now with Ricky Vale and has taken all before him up there, with wins in the Guineas at Rockhampton, Mackay and Townsville. Has to stretch his brilliance out to 2100m but is favourite to achieve that, sitting at $4.40.

The only other runner at single figures is Fortification, the last start Townsville Cup winner. He’s at $8.50 and has been popular, in from $9,50, and they are the lone runners at single figures, with next best being Bajan Gold and Play Me Now at $10.
