There isn’t much wrong with the form of Tulip heading into the Blue Diamond Stakes this Saturday at Caulfield, and Sportsbet.com.au punters agree by backing her in.
The Hayes/Dabernig Coolmore filly debuted at the Valley and gave them a nice touch up before running in the Preview on Australia Day where she was beaten a lip by Limestone, who in turn was beaten a lip in the Prelude by Catchy ($5.50F). The break between runs has been a deliberate ploy by the stable and the punters think she can run a beauty. She was as much as $15 all in on Monday, but after the final field/barrier draw, she opened $9 and got down to as low as $6, but has eased half a point.
The unbeaten Formality, to be steered by Ryan Moore, has had support, into $6.50 from $7 with CrownBet.com.au. Roomooz has had support too at a price, opening $19 and trimming to $15.
The noteworthy drifters in early betting are Property ($6-$7), Pariah ($6-$7) and Muraahib ($17-$34).
