Star Queensland sprinter Buffering was the big mover after the Stradbroke Handicap barrier draw.
Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has received solid support for Buffering after he drew ideally in barrier six, with the gelding firming from $15 into $9.00 and favourite Sizzling easing from $4.20 to $4.40 after drawing 18.
Sizzling now shares favouritism with Your Song, who’s tightened slightly.
“Trainer Rob Heathcote has said Buffering will lead the Stradbroke. He has the draw to do that easily now and will be hard to run down. Sizzling didn’t fare as well and will need some luck from out there,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
One time favourite Epaulette eased from $6.00 to $7.00 after drawing gate 22, with Better Than Ready now $8.50. Sportsbet.com.au will refund punters their bet on the Stradbroke Handicap if their selection runs second in the race.
Survived and Hawkspur ($3.90) dominate Queensland Derby betting with the Kiwi Survived $3.50 favourite despite jumping from barrier 17. Rhythm To Spare and Gondokoro remain firm on the next line at $7.00.
