She is on the seven day back up, but that hasn’t stopped Sportsbet.com.au punters from backing Politeness in the Emirates Stakes (1600m) this Saturday at Flemington.
The Robert Smerdon trained mare overcame track bias and a firm track to win the Myer Classic (1600m), and with the drop in weight and the fact she is in Group l winning form, she has been the best supported runner to take out the event, opening $13 and firming down to $11.
Favourite for the race is Bow Creek, and has been solid at his opening price of $4.80. Turn Me Loose, the horse that beat him at Moonee Valley, has been slightly easy, out to $7.50 from $7.
Rock Sturdy has been a significant firmer at odds, into $18 from $34, while Magic Artist, who was the eye catcher in the McKinnon, has been $5 out to $6, perhaps due to his ordinary form with give in the track.
