VRC Oaks winner Brazilian Pulse has got 'the blows' for Sat's AJC Oaks at Randwick following a torrent of money for AJC Derby winner Shamrocker. That's the news from leading bookies Betstar on race eve. 'We gave punters a sniff by offering $3 about Shamrocker and they were quick to jump in," says Betstar's Alan Eskander.

VRC Oaks winner Brazilian Pulse has got 'the blows' for Sat's AJC Oaks at Randwick following a torrent of money for AJC Derby winner Shamrocker. That's the news from leading bookies Betstar on race eve. 'We gave punters a sniff by offering $3 about Shamrocker and they were quick to jump in," says Betstar's Alan Eskander. 'We took one bet of $30,000 at that price and another of $3,500 at $2.90...We've been forced to tighten her into $2.40 and we can't write a bet about Brazilian Pulse. She's out to $4.80 which is remarkable given that she's a VRC Oaks winner and has never been out of a place in her life. The other point worth remembering is that she has beaten Shamrocker home the three times they have met, and here she is, almost each-way odds. It's remarkable.'
The Doncaster, too, is attracting plenty of betting action. Glen Boss's army of devoted fans have forced Aloha's price in from $10 to $8.50 while Love Conquers All has gone from $17 into $13. Favourite More Joyous has eased slightly to $2.20 while Ilovethiscity is out to $15. Alan Eskander told PPD: 'It's shaping up as the best betting day of the carnival...They look to have finally got their programming right for their carnival in Sydney and it's been terrific for punters to see the depth of the fields holding up all the way through.'
