Eagle Farm trained Order Again is poised to give Queensland its first Group 1 win of the carnival.
Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au reports solid backing for the Brian Smith trained three-year-old.
Order Again, impressive last start winner of the Grand Prix Stakes, shares favouritism with Volatile Mix on $4.80.
The Chris Waller trained Black On Gold ($10) is also attracting plenty of support.
In the J.J. Atkins Stakes, punters only have eyes for the $2.50 favourite Melody Belle.
She heads the market ahead of another Eagle Farm trained runner Capital Gain ($5.50).
“Queensland horses have performed well during the carnival, but they are yet to claim a Group 1. Order Again was very impressive winner last start and betting suggests punters think he can do it again,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
