The class of the field, Persan, heads the Ladbrokes.com.au for the Adelaide Cup (3200m) this Monday at Morphettville in what shapes up to be an even contest.

The Maher/Eustace camp have two strong chances in the field, including Persan, who is favourite and been well supported, into $5 from $6.50, and holds the call alongside his stablemate.

That stablemate is Grand Promenade, who ran second in the Lord Reims, the key lead up. They and Highland Jakk ($6.50) are the only runners at single figures, with next best being Aurora’s Symphony and True Marvel at $11.
