Fabrizio has been crunched from $4.60 to $3.50 immediately after TAB opened the market for the Villiers Stakes.
“It just wouldn't be a feature mile race at Randwick if Gai Waterhouse didn’t have a strong hand in it and the same applies to this Saturday's Villiers Stakes where Fabrizio heads the All-In market as a $3.50 favourite,” TAB’s Glenn Munsie said.
“He hasn't been seen since a dominating win at Flemington over Cup week, which came on the back of an all the way win at Randwick on October 15.
“It's not surprising to see him at the top of early markets when you consider he did run a well supported $6.00 chance in the Epsom before those two runs, eventually finishing well back after setting a suicidal speed up front.
“Perennial bridesmaid Dibayani, who was beaten by a nose in the Epsom as a $26 outsider, sits on the third line at $9.50 behind Hazzabeel, who definitely caught the eye last start at Rosehill.
“A wider market exists for the Razor Sharp Handicap with Kuro and Grunderzeit sharing top spot at $6.00 followed by the recent Gosford barrier trial winner His Majesty, I Am Zelady and exciting three-year-old Weatherly next at $8.00.”
