Despite the rise in grade, Nevagotavote has been the best backed runner with Sportsbet.com.au in the feature race at Rosehill this Saturday, the Sky Thoroughbred Central Festival Stakes (1500m).
The Jason Deamer trained gelding led all the way last time out over 1550m at Canterbury, beating home Sebrina, who franked the form by winning last Saturday. That form isn’t the strongest on paper, but some punters think so, firming the horse into $12 from $26. Punters may also be respecting the fact that Sam Clenton, who does struggle riding light, is getting down to 54kg to ride this horse, whom she has a fantastic record on.
Frespanol opened the $4.60 favourite and hasn’t budged. It’s Somewhat resumes here for Godolphin and he has been supported, into $5 from $6.
