Plenty of punters are hoping for a boilover in Saturday’s Darley Classic with smart mare Srikandi receiving more support than Chautauqua.
Chautuaqua commands top billing with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au at the very short quote of $1.50. Terravista holds down second spot, on $8.50 and Srikandi has firmed from $11 into $9.00.
In the other Flemington Group 1, the Emirates Stakes, Bow Creek ($4.80) is slightly ahead of Magic Artist ($5.00) in the battle for favouritism.
“There is no doubt Chautauqua is a superstar sprinter, but the short odds are not appealing to punters. Srikandi ran well first-up and is great odds for a dual Group 1 winner, so it’s not at all surprising she is the best backed,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
