Dunn was suspended at Moonee Valley yesterday and his odds with online bookmakersportsbet.com.au have drifted to $3.70.
Craig Williams, who trails Dunn by one win, is $2.00 favourite with Damien Oliver next on $2.90.
It could not get much closer in the Sydney race. James McDonald is $2.60 to defend his title but Blake Shinn, level with McDonald on 88.5 wins, is the $2.50 favourite.
Both riders are just 1.5 wins ahead of Hugh Bowman ($3.00).
“Dwayne Dunn rode a treble yesterday and it’s a real shame he copped a suspension. He needs another big day at Flemington on Saturday and the given the fantastic form he is in Dunn could still give them something to catch,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
