Press Statement has been installed as the one to beat in the Randwick Guineas, opening as the $1.80 favourite with TAB to win the Group One.
Montaigne ($7.00) and Stay With Me ($8.50) look likely to provide the Colt with some competition, but all the punter interest is expected to be one way traffic for Press Statement.
“The Caulfield Guineas winner who was heavily backed when resuming in the Hobartville Stakes will no doubt again be popular to make it seven wins from nine starts,” said TAB’s Nick Quinn.
In the Canterbury Stakes First Seal and Our Boy Malachi share favouritism at $2.80 while Xtravagant heads the market at $4.20 for the Australian Guineas.
