Friendly Dragon, who was an eye catcher when resuming behind Hidden Pearl, has been backed off the map at a huge price with Sportsbet.com.au to take out the Trackside Openair Cinema Handicap (1200m) this Saturday at Eagle Farm.
The Les Ross trained galloper resumed behind the quality mare and made up significant ground late between runners in what was a very good return. The $41 opening price looked to be crazy to my eye, but to see him now into $10…surprising, but clearly others know something I don’t.
Impressive last start winner Tailevent is the $2.80, pretty solid after opening $2.60. Pienkna ($7.50-$6.50) has been supported, as has Big Decision ($51-$41) and Revolver ($15-$13-$14).
