European import Grey Lion is red-hot with punters in Wednesday’s Geelong Cup.
The Matt Cumani trained five-year-old is clear $3.60 favourite with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au. Grey Lion’s odds of $34 for the Melbourne Cup will shorten if he can win at Geelong.
Godolphin’s British based stayer Oceanographer is second pick at $4.60. Two other European invaders, Kinema ($5.00) and Qewy ($6.00), round out the top four in betting.
Best of the Aussie based stayers are Darren Weir trained Black Tomahawk ($12 into $9.00).
“Since betting opened Grey Lion has been the one punters want. He holds six-times more money than Oceanographer. Black Tomahawk wasn’t wanted early, but his price has tumbled on the back of some decent wagers,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Bulmer.
