TAB has installed Astern and Extreme Choice as $3.50 equal favourites in the prestigious Coolmore Stud Stakes on Saturday.
“This could be the most highly anticipated race of the spring, any other year all of Astern ($3.50), Extreme Choice ($3.50), Star Turn ($4.20), Flying Artie ($7.00), Russian Revolution ($7.00) or Capitalist ($11) would be a commanding favourite,” says TAB’s Nick Quinn.
“One of the most open races on Derby Day looks to be the Myer Classic where First Seal, the horse that has beaten Winx more than any other runner, heads the betting at $5.00 with Don't Doubt Mumma.”
Sacred Elixir is the $3.20 favourite for the Victoria Derby while in Saturday’s other group one, The United States ($4.50) heads the field for the Cantala Stakes.
