Noted swimmer Not Usual Glorious heads the Ladbrokes.com.au market for the Benalla Cup (2046m) this afternoon.

The Travis Doudle trained gelding has been in ripping form this time in and was far from disgraced last time in the Balaklava Cup. Back up to a more suitable trip, soft lead, he’s the one to beat and he heads the market at $2.10.

Spanish Tides, a last start Caulfield winner, is rock solid at $2.90 on the second line of betting and they dominate, with next best being Dark Dream at $6.50.
