Punters plunge on star mare in Tancred Stakes

Duais is clearly the most popular runner with Ladbrokes.com.au punters for the feature race at Newcastle this afternoon, the Tancred Stakes (2400m).

The Australian Cup winner was a query on the bottomless track at Rosehill on Saturday but with a much firmer deck at Newcastle on the cards, punters are gravitating towards her. Opened $3 and is now at $2.35, with the mare holding close to 50% of money invested.

Spanish Mission is on the second line of betting at $5.00, clear of Think It Over at $6.50, with that horse a big winner from the transfer of tracks due to his hatred of proper wet ground.
