There has been a strong move for the Bart Cummings trained Do You think to win the Golden Slipper with the first and only emergency shortening from $51 to $26 with Sportingbet Australia.
Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said punters were confident he could be a genuine player if he gets a run in the Slipper.
“We have seen a number of good bets come in for him with one punter backing him to win $30,000 leading the charge on Wednesday afternoon,†Sullivan said.
“His win at Canterbury was very impressive and it looks like 1200m will suit him perfectly.
“His win was on a dead track and he won a trial in slow going so the possibility of rain shouldn’t be a major problem either.â€
Sullivan said punters were looking for value at the moment and were betting around the favoured runners.
“We have hardly taken a decent bet on Sepoy or Smart Missile this week but we have laid a number of horses at big odds,†he said.
“Apart from Do You Think, the has been good money for Karuta Queen at $17, Salade at $15 and bolters Mosheen and Masthead.â€
