Online bookmaker Sportsbet.com.au reports strong support for Teronado ($9.00 into $8.00) in the Australian Derby. Buffering ($6.00) is also well in commission for the T.J. Smith Stakes.
“There’s plenty of money to say the Queenslanders are the ones to beat on Saturday. Teronado is the best backed runner in the Derby and Buffering is in a popularity contest with favourite Lankan Rupee ($3.80),’’ Sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson said.
Derby favourite Criterion is not completely friendless, but he has drifted from $3.20 to $3.50. Another top hope, Thunder Fantasy ($7.00) is virtually unwanted as is Hooked who has only attracted a handful of bets. Koroibete is the most likely outsider according to punters who has been well backed at $51.
One time T.J Smith favourite, Zoustar, has drifted from $7.00 to $10. Last start George Ryder winner Gordon Lord Byron has admirers and has firmed from $11 to $7.50 while Bel Sprinter hasn’t been forgotten, one of the best backed outsiders at $41.
