My Ambivalent has bruising to her off fore foot and will miss Saturday’s Caulfield Cup. Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au made no alteration to the mare’s Melbourne Cup price of $41.
“It’s going to be tough for My Ambivalent now, but we’ve seen these European horses do well before on a light preparation,’’ sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne said.
Protectionist is $8.00 favourite for the great race, but Admire Rakti ($11) is the best backed runner. The Offer ($12) and Fawkner $13 are also well in commission with punters.
