Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has received strong backing for Basset ($7.00) in the Doomben Group 1.
The Peter Moody trained youngster is the second best supported runner behind Press Statement ($4.80).
While the J.J. Atkins looks a tough race for punters it’s a different story in the Derby.
Favourite Werther has firmed from $3.30 into $3.10. It is one-way traffic and the three-year-old appears certain to continue to shorten.
“Press Statement is the best backed runner, but Bassett isn’t far behind. Speed maps have Press Statement leading, but Bassett also has pace and could hound him all of the way,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Christian Jantzen.
