Melbourne Cup favourite Hartnell has been a notable drifter in markets
The favourite for the Melbourne Cup is on the drift with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au as the first race of the day is about to get underway at Flemington.
Melbourne Cup favourite Hartnell has drifted out to $5.50 from $5.00.
Jameka now outright second favourite at odds of $8.50.
Oceanographer also on the drift from $8.00 out to $9.00.
Hartnell has drifted from $5.00 out to $5.50 but so too has the other frontrunners in Jameka ($8.00 out to $8.50) and Oceanographer ($8.00 out to $9.00).
Some outsiders receiving support and improving their chances this morning include Almandin ($11 into $10), Big Orange ($14 into $13) and Heartbreak City ($19 into $18).
“Money is coming for some of the outsiders this morning as punters look for value away from the front three in the betting,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
