Punters are singling out The Offer as the early stand-out for the second day of The Championships on Saturday.
The Offer, $2.80 favourite, has been heavily backed to win the Sydney Cup. Online bookmaker Sportsbet.com.au has been smashed with a swag of wagers including two of $5k immediately after the barrier draw.
“The Offer is in great form and Randwick is almost certainly going to be heavy again. He’s a proven mudlark and punters have really come for him,’’ Sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne said.
Support has come for Kiwi invader Who Shot Thebarman, who is steady at $7.50.
In the Queen Elizabeth Stakes Int’s A Dundeel has been strongly supported, firming from $5.50 into $4.20 favourite.
