Despite rising to 2100m after racing over 1500m last time out, Mosserati has been clearly the best backed runner with Sportsbet.com.au to take out the Penfolds Handicap (2100m) this Saturday at Ascot.
The Cliff Green trained galloper ran over 1500m last time out and was given a sweet ride by Troy Turner and to the eye, he looked to the get the bob in and win but the photo went against him in favour of Cronkite. Despite that steep distance rise, he does get the services of Damien Oliver and the punters latched onto his opening price of $7.50, crunching him into $3.60.
He is now clearly the favourite, ahead of in form stayer The Forgotten One, who opened $4.20 and is rock solid, as is the horse he beat last start Our Mate Al at $5.50. Magic Rocket got to $6.50 after opening $4.80 but has trimmed back into $5.50.
