Rebel Dane has firmed from $3.80 into $3.50 favourite, with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au. Messene ($4.00) and Weary ($10) also have plenty of admirers for the Randwick Group 2, while second favourite Sweet Idea ($3.80) is unwanted.
“Punters were not interested in Rebel Dane early this week, but there has been a solid move for him now and he’s our best backed runner,’’ sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson said.
In tomorrow’s other Group 3 race, The Aurie’s Star at Flemington, Tiger Tees continues to be popular with punters and heads betting on $3.60. Zamorar has eased to $5.00 and Sino Eagle is a firmer ($7.00 into
$6.00).
