The Robert Smerdon trained filly – Fontiton has drawn barrier 1 and remains the $2.50 favourite for Saturday’s Blue Diamond Stakes.
“Punters think that Fontiton will be too strong, and drawing the side gate hasn’t changed that theory,” BetEasy’s Rob Cumbrae-Stewart said.
Pride of Dubai (barrier 5) is on the second line of betting at $5.00, followed by Of The Brave (barrier 9) at $10.
Key firmers:
- Pride of Dubai (5) $6-$5.50
- Air Apparent (4) $26-$21
- Claudia Jean (2) $41-$31
Key drifters:
- Of the Brave (9) $8-$8.50
- Sampeah (12) $8-$9
