Incentivise is a clear top choice with TAB customers leading into today’s Lexus Melbourne Cup (3200 metres).
Money on the Peter Moody-trained galloper accounts for nearly 24 percent of the total investment on the race that stops the nation.
The next best supported runner outside of Incentivise is Verry Elleegant ($15-$18-$17) in front of Tralee Rose ($17-$15) and Grand Promenade ($17). Highlighting just how popular the favourite is, he is holding three times the amount of money than those runners!
Of the others, Delphi has firmed up since Saturday’s barrier draw and is $34-$18 while Floating Artist peaked at $16 and is now into $14.
The big bets have already begun to flow in with a $65,000 investment on Incentivise being the biggest on the fav so far, however, there are several others that have been whacked for a place including Selino and The Chosen One.
