The countdown to the Melbourne Cup continues and it’s Magic Circle who has captured punter interest the most since the barrier draw according to Sportsbet.
Magic Circle holds over 15% of wagers but is on the second line of betting alongside Cross Counter (both $9.00).
Yucatan remains the favourite on $5.50 but is drifting in the betting and also with punter support, now standing at just over 11%.
