All Too Hard was a $34 chance until he beat Cox Plate favourite Pierro in the Caulfield Guineas. His fast finishing effort and unbeaten run in Melbourne has seen his price tumble to $7.50.
Top Tote Plus punters reaped the rewards when All Too Hard saluted at Caulfield. They received the best odds of $12 as the Starting Price, well ahead of the totes, S-Tab $9.80, NSW $7.70,Tatts $7.60.

“Team Hawkes are yet to confirm a Cox Plate start for All Too Hard, but we expect the horse to be well supported if and when they do,’’ said sportbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson said.
“There were excuses for Pierro, who had to do it tough, out wide, early. However, there was a lot to like about the way All Too Hard hit the line and the 2040m of the Cox Plate should suit him.
“Punters who took advantage of our Top Tote Plus ensured they got the best possible price.’’
Pierro is out from $1.85 to $2.80 and Ocean Park also firmed slightly from $8.00 to $6.00 after his easy win in the Caulfield Stakes. More Joyous, beaten favourite in the Toorak Handicap, has eased from $9.00 to $11 for the Moonee Valley Group 1.
There were no big movers in Caulfield Cup betting, with uncertainty about who will make the field. Gai Waterhouse stayer Glencadam Gold is $3.70 favourite with December Draw solid on the second line of betting at $6.50.
