Kentucky Breeze has been one of the form horses in recent weeks in Melbourne and he’s favourite with Sportsbet.com.au to graduate to Stakes company successfully when he lines up in the JRA Cup (2040m) on Friday night at Moonee Valley.
The Levi Kavanagh trained galloper hasn’t won a Stakes race since Melbourne Cup Week as a three year old when winning on the final day over 1400m. He’s craft is now over a middle distance trip and seems to like the Valley. With the lightweight and good draw, he’s the favourite at $4.20, in from $4.50.
Last years Melbourne Cup favourite Yucatan is the class runner of the field and as much as $6 was bet elsewhere. He opened $4.80 with Sportsbet and is rock solid after touching $5. SA Derby winner Qafila is in a half point from $6.50.
