Our Libretto has been heavily backed at a price for Saturday's Zipping Classic

A horse at a big priced has been crunched to beat some high quality stayers in Saturday’s early betting on the Group Two Zipping Classic.

The Grahame Begg trained Our Libretto opened at $26 for the feature at Sandown and punters were quick to take the big odds backing her into $11 just after markets opened after a good run in the Matriarch Stakes on the weekend.

The Zipping Classic looks a quality affair with the likes of Melbourne Cup favourite Yucatan as well as Caulfield Cup runner-up Homesman nominated to line-up in the race.
