Yao Dash has been the best backed runner with Sportsbet.com.au in the get out at Flemington on Tuesday, the MSS Security Sprint (1200m).
The WaterBott trained gelding does seem to save his best for firmer tracks and has trialled up very well in Sydney to get ready for his return. Punters agree, backing him into $4.60 after opening $6.00.
He is the new favourite, taking over from The Astrologist, who opened $5.50 but with the support for Yao Dash is now at $6.50. SA sprinter Shamino has admirers at a price, into $9.50 from $12.
