Outstanding mare Atlantic Jewel has a stranglehold on TAB’s Fixed Odds market for the Cox Plate. After effortlessly taking out the Cathay Pacific Caulfield Stakes she is $2.60 into $2.40 to win the weight for age championship.
Earlier in the week she was as much as $2.80 but firmed into $2.60 following news of It’s A Dundeel’s hoof setback.
Punters rallied behind Atlantic Jewel today despite her short price, with TAB taking bets of $80,000 @ $1.25, $30,000 @ $1.35 and $10,000 @ $1.33.
Super Cool, third to stablemate Atlantic Jewel today, is $19 out to $31 to win the Cox Plate.
