Bell Ex One just holds the call with Ladbrokes.com.au for the Grand Annual (5500m) this afternoon at Warrnambool.

The Andrew Bobbin trained galloper has been strong this time in and looks primed for this big race off good flat runs and strong trial work. He holds the call, just, at $3.80.

The significant push has come for the defending champ, Rockstar Ronnie. He opened $19 and has been slapped, now at $4.00. He sits on the second line of betting, clear of Budd Fox at $7.50.
