Kermadec has been priced to go one better than his previous run in the Chelmsford Stakes, installed as the $2.80 favourite to win the George Main Stakes, reports the TAB's Shaun Anderson.
Royal Descent looks the most likely to push the favourite, next in the market at $5.50 ahead of Pornichet at $8.00.
Last year’s Melbourne Cup winner Protectionist is considered an outside chance at $18.
“Kermadec looks primed to take out this Group 1 over the mile after his runner up finish to Complacent recently, so we expect he will be the one punters come for,” said TAB’s Nick Quinn.
