Punters were quick to back Malaguerra at big odds to take out the Darley Classic
Punters are keen to splash their money out on the Darley Classic (1200m) this Saturday at Flemington, in particular a Group l winner from the Brisbane Winter Carnival.
Malaguerra, formerly trained by Team Freedman but is now with Peter Gelagotis, is second up here and is a winner down the straight previously. He surprisingly opened $13 and has had really good support. He got down to $8 but has eased slightly, now sitting at $8.50.
Our Boy Malachi has also been very heavily backed, now into $4.40 from $6.50 while Sheidel, who has an outstanding winning record, is $16 to $13 and has drawn well for the Group l assignment.
The alarming drifter has been Manikato runner up Fell Swoop. He opened the $4.50 favourite and has been friendless, now sitting at $8.00.
