Moody told media Dissident, who is being set for the Cox Plate, faces a “herculean’’ task to win the Caulfield Group 1 on Sunday.
“Peter Moody has made no secret that he is getting Dissident ready for the longer races. While the horse may not be suited here, he has bucket loads of class, which might get him home’’ sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson said.
In an open betting race Cluster is second pick at $7.50. Sweet Idea, A Time For Julia, Sistine Demon and Trust In A Gust are next, all on $8.50.
In good news for punters, if your horse runs second or third, Sportsbet will refund your bet!
