Punters plunge on long shot at Caulfield

Punters have smashed Shillelagh's price in the Tristarc Stakes

Punters are hoping that the overs god is smiling upon them and the Chris Waller mare Shillelagh in the Tristarc Stakes (1400m) this Saturday at Caulfield.

The Godolphin Crown winner resumed at Randwick and just had too much to do via a negative steer from Angland behind in form galloper Sir Plush. She nearly came down in this race last year but punters think she can go close with Joao Moreira steering. She opened $26 and has been crunched, now into $10.

Stablemate Foxplay is the $4.80 favourite despite a slight drift after having a couple of $4.60-$4.50 flucs. Despite drawing a horror gate, Silent Sedition has had admirers, into $5.50 from $6 before drifting back out to $7.00. There has been a move at odds for the Toowoomba mare Sold For Song ($21-$17).
