Beltoro has been the best backed runner in today's Albury Cup

Last start Stakes winner Beltoro is favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au for the Albury Cup (2000m) this afternoon.

The Rob Hickmott trained gelding has been up forever it seems like but continues to run super races and comes here off a win in the CS Hayes Memorial at Morphettville on Adelaide Cup Day and despite 2000m being a slight query, he heads betting at $3.30, in from $4.60.

Mankayan is the class of the field and is on the second line of betting at $4.20, clear of Summerbeel at $4.80, who backs up from last Saturday at The Valley, and has been popular, in from $7.
