Son of Frankel shortens in Spring Stakes betting

Merovee is the clear popular elect with Sportsbet.com.au to take out the feature 3YO race at Newcastle this Friday, the Spring Stakes (1600m).

The Chris Waller trained son of Frankel was a real eye catcher last time out at Randwick when flashing home against the bias/tempo to run second to Super Ex. The Newcastle mile looks ideal for him and the market agrees. He is at $2.30 after opening $2.35.

The Godolphin three year old Astoria is next best at $4.00, in from $4.20. That pair do dominate betting early, with the next best being Runaway at $6.00.

In terms of value, there has been interest for Chosen Assassin ($61 – $46 – $51) and Whispered Secret ($15 – $17 – $14).
