Sound, runner up in the race last year, is favourite with Sportsbet.com.au to go one better this afternoon in the Auckland Cup (3200m) at Ellerslie.
The Moroney/Gerard trained galloper comes into this off the back of a second in the Avondale Cup when back in the run and closing off strongly late. He heads the market at $3.50.
Platinum Invader, third in the race last year, is at $5.50, out from $4.80 but has been solid. In terms of those at odds, has been specking for Vedo Rosso ($26-$20).
