Race comments:
Incentivise remains favourite for ‘the race that stops a nation’ after his emphatic win in the Caulfield Cup and he is at $2.90 with Sportsbet.
International raider Spanish Mission the clear second favourite but has been on the ease after lameness issues saw him undergo multiple vet checks to be cleared for the race and he is at $9.50 ahead of last years winner Twilight Payment at $13 with all other runners in the race at $17+ suggesting it’s Incentivise’s race to lose.
