Skybird holds the call with online betting companies for the Gilgai Stakes (1200m) this Saturday at Flemington.

The mare was far from disgraced fresh and looks hard to beat against these, especially on the minimum. She is at $4.80.

Smooth Chino is at $6 on the second line of betting, with Hedged at $7. War Machine is at $10 and has been solid in betting with top betting apps.
