Closer To Free stifles McKenzie Stakes betting

Closer To Free clearly holds sway with Australian betting companies for the McKenzie Stakes (1300m) this afternoon at Sandown.

The Danny O’Brien trained colt was good in defeat in fresh and looks primed for a second up assault. He is at $2.25.

Blind Raise is at $3.20 on the second line of betting, with Wolf Gap at $7. Tornado Valley is at $9 and has been solid in betting with top wagering sites.
