Betstar's Alan Eskander expects a rush of money for December Draw following the barrier draw for Sat's Caulfield Cup. He told PPD: 'I think favorite backers have been waiting to tick the final box before launching on December Draw.

Betstar's Alan Eskander expects a rush of money for December Draw following the barrier draw for Sat's Caulfield Cup. He told PPD: 'I think favorite backers have been waiting to tick the final box before launching on December Draw. Assuming the emergencies don't get a run, he'll start from barrier 9 and it's been the most successful starting position in the last 15 years with four wins...Eight of the winners in that time have come in the range from barriers 7-11 so he looks ideally placed, and while he's already short enough, the draw can only give his backers more confidence...Lucas Cranach is still a solid second favorite with us although his barrier draw may not necessarily be ideal for a horse with his get-back style of racing.'
In other Caulfield Cup betting moves, Southern Speed firmed slightly after drawing barrier 4 while Precedence is out to $26 after drawing barrier 20. Alan Eskander says Lloyd Williams's only Cup runner, Green Moon has been well supported this week. He adds: 'He looked like he wasn't going to get a run so got out to $41 at one stage of betting but he's into $15 now that he's in the field.' (www.betstar.com.au).
