In form benchmark sprinter Midtown Boss heads the market with Ladbrokes.com.au for the Wangoom Handicap (1200m) this afternoon at Warrnambool.

The Matt Laurie trained gelding has been kept on ice for a few weeks since a dominant win down the straight at Flemington and right down in the weights for this, he appeals on paper and the market agrees, having him as the $4.00 favourite.

Tuvalu is the best horse in the race and resumes. He sits at $6.50 on the second line of betting, a point clear of stablemate Yellow Sam.
