Quality animal Luncies is favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au for the Lord Mayors Cup (1800m) this Saturday at Eagle Farm.
The Kris Lees trained gelding was very good in defeat fresh in the Scone Cup when a closing second and fitter, up to 1800m, it all points to him running well. He opened $4 and has eased to $4.40 but still holds the call.
New Mandate sits on the second line of betting at $6, a half point clear of former UK stayer Without A Fight. At longer odds, there has been specking for Berdibek, into $18 from $19.
