Sierra Sue and Superstorm are equal favourites with Tab in their all in market for the Feehan Stakes (1600m) at Moonee Valley on Saturday.
The winner gets ballot exemption for the Cox Plate, so it’s an important race to win, and the nominations suggest it’ll be an even contest, which is reflected in the market, which sees Sierra Sue and Superstorm share top billing at $5.
The key firmer has been unbeaten Kiwi galloper Elephant, who is at $6 after opening $7. A host of runners are at $11, most notably former Irish gallopers Cormorant and Dawn Patrol, both resuming for Rob Hickmott, the latter high up in betting for the Melbourne Cup.
