The O’Dea/Hoysted trained galloper resumed in the Lightning when wide no cover for the trip and battled away well when fourth. With luck, he’ll take beating and that is reflected in the market, where he is the $5.00 favourite.
Centrefire is on the second line of betting at $5.50, sitting alongside Sydney raider Mr Mosaic. Usmanov has firmed, into $9.00 from $11.
