Perfumist is a clear favourite with bookmaker sites for the Wellington Cup (1700m) this afternoon.
The Bjorn Baker trained mare was down to run in the Queen Of The Turf but elects to run here and holds the call at $2.60.
Instead is at $4.40 on the second line of betting, with Zouatica at $4.80. Taipan Legend is at $8.50 and is being kept safe with leading wagering companies.
