There must be a few thrill seekers betting with Sportsbet.com.au because they are keen to launch into Rising Romance this Saturday in the Frances Tressady Stakes (1400m) despite the fact she hasn’t won for over two years.
The Group l winning mare, whose career highlight perhaps was her narrow second in the 2014 Caulfield Cup behind Admire Rakti, hasn’t won since an open handicap in February 2015 at Ellerslie. The reason punters may be on her back is because this is the easiest assignment she has faced since her three year old days, and the last time she was first up at 1400m, she was ultra competitive behind Black Heart Bart. Whatever the case, the punters are on, backing her into $5.00 after opening at $7.00.
Happy Hannah opened the $3.90 favourite but as expected, she is friendless. She is at $4.40. The other key runner is Diamond Baroness but she too has no friends, out to $6.00 from $4.80.
The mare that is rock solid is I Love It at $8.50. Hasn’t budged and maps well.
Market and moves thanks to CrownBet.com.au
