Debut winner Libertad is favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au for the opener at Randwick on Saturday, the Kindergarten Stakes (1100m).

The Annabel Neasham trained colt debuted last Wednesday here on the Kenso track and was impressive from off the speed. Looks hard to beat this weekend and the market agrees, into $3.70 from $4.80.

Barber, out of the Golden Slipper, is on the second line of betting at $5.50, in a point from $6.50. Saltaire is next best, a half point further back.
