Champion jockey Nash Rawiller and owner John Singleton will link again when Dear Demi contests Saturday’s Queensland Oaks at Eagle Farm and online bookmaker sportsbet has installed the Clarry Conners trained filly as the $3.00 favourite for the Group 1.
Dear Demi, having her third start in as many weeks, will again clash with Victorian filly Gondokoro ($3.60), who was a fast finishing second to Dear Demi in the Doomben Roses.
Those filly’s dominate betting with Miss Zenella and Express Power next in betting, well back at $11. Just As Cosmic, who also ran well in The Roses, follows at $13.
“Singo and Nash are a proven big race combination and Dear Demi is a class mare. The fact she is backing-up three weeks in a row might scare some punters, but Conners is a masterful trainer and knows the filly well. Gondokoro is the clear threat,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
