It appears punters are willing to forgive Almalad’s first-up failure with the gelding the best backed runner for Saturday’s Golden Rose.

The one time favourite for the Rosehill Group 1 is currently at $11. Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has Bring Me The Maid and Hallowed Crown sharing top billing on $4.50.

“Almalad blotted his copybook last start, but there is plenty of money to say he can turn things around. He’s still our best supported runner, just ahead of Bring Me The Maid,’’ sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson said.

Sarajevo ($17) is the best backed outsider and there are also nibbles for Scissor Kick ($17).
