Punters were quick to back The Bostonian to win Saturday's Kingsford Smith Cup

The Kingsford Smith Cup (1300m) looks one of the more open majors in recent memory and that’s reflected in the Sportsbet.com.au market where it is $6.50 the field.

Trekking has been well placed at his past couple but with no real standouts, he is the favourite to win the Group l at $6.50, heading the market over Doomben 10,000 winner The Bostonian, who is $7 in from $9 and will likely be favourite at some stage.

The horse with upside is the Jenny Graham trained Victorem. He’s a $10 chance and unchanged with a little query on him at WFA, but with a popular following, he is sure to attract support.

There has also been a nibble for a likely factor of early speed, Irithea ($21-$19).
