After a luckless run last Saturday in the Brisbane Cup, the Darren Weir trained Puccini has been well backed with Sportsbet.com.au punters to take out the Ipswich Cup (2150m) this Saturday.
The former NZ Derby winner has been pretty good since moving to Weir’s stables, and he now looks to have found a very winnable race. He opened $9.00 and has been crunched, now into $6.00.
Maurus, who comes here off a last start fifth in the Doomben Cup, is the $2.35 favourite and has also had good support after opening $2.45 and getting down to as much as $2.30.
Dance Of Heroes ($8-$5.50) has also had good support.
