The Gai Waterhouse-trained Carlton House drew favourably in barrier five and is favourite in front of Silent Achiever ($4.50), It’s A Dundeel ($5.50) and Royal Descent ($8).
Carlton House was a $19 chance when Sportingbet.com.au opened its Queen Elizabeth Stakes market back in January.
“Plenty of our punters will be able to build their own palace should Carlton House salute on Saturday after getting on at those big odds some months ago,” Sportingbet.com.au’s Andrew Brown said.
