The Bostonian is the rock solid Stradbroke Handicap favourite

The Bostonian is looking to create history by winning all three of the big Brisbane sprint races on the bounce and is the Sportsbet.com.au favourite to win the Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) this Saturday at Eagle Farm.

The Tony Pike trained sprinter has won the first two legs, the Doomben 10,000 and Kingsford Smith, admittedly each time given 12/10 steers from Michael Cahill, but has still got the job done, and appears well placed to win again. He’s the $4.60 favourite and rock solid.

There is only one other runner at single figures, which is Trekking at $6, out half a point. Next best is the in form mare Spright, who is an $11 chance, out from $10. In terms of firmers at odds, the main one that has had specking is Tactical Advantage ($51-$31).
