Quality four year old Knight’s Choice is a well backed favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au for the Mooloolaba Cup (1600m) this Saturday at the Sunshine Coast.

The Symons/Laxon trained gelding comes through the Golden Eagle when far from disgraced in defeat and back to his home track, he appeals big time and the market agrees, backing him int $3.10 from $3.60.

Ocean Treaty is on the second line of betting at $6, clear of Dune Forty Five at $7.50 with a point further back to Great House, who is perhaps wanting more ground.
