French galloper Dunaden has rocketed to the 2nd line of betting for the Melbourne Cup after winning today's Geelong Cup, according to TAB Sportsbet. He was a $21 chance pre-race but is now into $9.00, alongside German stayer Lucas Cranach. Dunaden opened at $101 in first Melbourne Cup markets and this price didn't escape the eagle eye of one punter who placed $1200 @ $101 on him back in August. Combined with a double he placed of Helment in the Caulfield Guineas and Dunaden in the Melbourne Cup, the punter will receive $380,400 if the French horse wins the Cup.
