Athiri remains favourite for the Christmas Classic despite drifting

An impressive last start winner at the Provincials has been best backed with Sportsbet.com.au to take out the Christmas Classic (1200m) this Friday at Canterbury.

The Greg Hickman trained Eleven Eleven is on his way to the Gold Coast for Magic Millions and comes into this lead up in winning form having taken out the Wyong 3&4YO Magic Millions. $6.00 was put up for him to win here and is now into $5.00.

That has forced the flying Athiri to ease. Opened $3.40 and is out to $3.90, keeping in mind she is also accepted for Eagle Farm in the Nudgee. Southern Lad, another dual acceptor, is rock solid at $6.00.

Quackerjack resumes and has admirers, into $14 from $18.
