The betting companies have equal favourites for the WJ Adams Stakes (1000m) this afternoon at Caulfield.

The Team Hayes trained speed demon, Beast Mode, looks well suited with fresh legs at 1000m and the market has him as top seed at $3.50 but has company via stablemate Oak Hill and Geegeees Mistruth.

Way To The Stars is at $9.50 on the second line of betting, with Insurrection at $12 alongside Midwest. Philosopher is at $14 and is being kept safe with new wagering sites.
