In form filly Scorched Earth has been the early firmer in the Sportsbet.com.au market for the Kevin Hayes Stakes (1200m) this Saturday at Caulfield.

The John Moloney trained filly has won her past two, both against the older horses, which is always a good sign for younger horse. Opened $4 and has been well supported, into $3.80.

She has a good hold in betting, with next best being Mallory, who is a dual acceptor but is drawn better here. She’s at $7.50, a half point clear of Argentia.
