Next best in the market is the adopted Australian Red Cadeaux, who was last seen running his third Melbourne Cup placing behind Protectionist. The old marvel currently sits at $6 and as we know, when he travels, he improves lengths, so don’t be surprised to see him shorten.
The Sir Michael Stoute trained Snow Sky, who sits at $7.50, is on the next line of betting. He gets the weight pull on other runners given he is a three year old in Northern Hemisphere time. He hasn’t raced since the St Leger at Doncaster in September, but has looked pretty good in recent trackwork in Hong Kong, in particular on Tuesday morning.
Rounding out the top four runners in betting is the 2013 winner of this race Dominant, who sits at $8. His form this time in has been dreadful, but his last piece of serious on Tuesday morning was really sharp, so don’t be surprised to see him bounce back.
