Progressive four year old Craig is the Ladbrokes.com.au favourite for the feature race at Sandown this Saturday, the Sandown Stakes (1500m).

The Busuttin/Young trained four year old has eyes on the Golden Eagle but will need to win this to warrant continuing down that path. He holds the call at $2.70.

Desert Lightning sits on the second line of betting at $5.50, a half point clear of Nicolini Vito. First up winner Chrysaor has admirers at $10, in from $12 with betting agencies in Australia.
