Exceedance heads the early betting for the G1 Newmarket Handicap

A couple of star three year olds sit atop the Sportsbet.com.au all in market for the Newmarket Handicap (1200m), to be run and won on March 7.

Coolmore winner Exceedance is the favourite at $7, with Team Hawkes yet to map out a plan for their star colt as of year. Bivouac is at $8, alongside Darley Classic winner Nature Strip.

In terms of firmers, the key one has been the Greg Hickman trained Pierata, who is into $11 from $15 in what will more than likely be his last Australian prep before potentially heading to Royal Ascot.

Tassie four year The Inevitable has halved his original quote of $34 despite trainer Scott Brunton having legal issues off the track.
