Funstar has been crunched in early betting for Saturday's Theo Marks Stakes

Chris Waller trained mare Funstar is the one that Sportsbet.com.au punters want when it comes to the Theo Marks Stakes (1300m) this Saturday at Rosehill.

The four year old mare was just fair when resuming in the Show Country but a step up in trip and more genuine tempo will help her cause. Opened $3.50 and has firmed to $3.10.

She holds the call over Special Reward, who looks the leader. He’s at $4, ahead of the Team Hawkes trained Wild Planet, who is at $5.50 and rock solid. Niccanova opened $7.50 and is out to $9 in a notable early drift.
