The Gary Clarke and Dick Leech-trained horses have remained rock solid equal favourites since Sportingbet put its market back up last Monday.
Former favourite Cantonese, who was $2.90 in early all-in betting, has continued to drift out to $6.50 after drawing wide in gate 13 at Friday’s barrier draw.
“We continue to see equal money coming in for the two favourites and between them, they’ve attracted the large majority of interest since Friday,” Sportingbet’s Andrew Brown said.
“Despite drawing the car park, Royal Request remains best backed to beat the favourites and there’s also been money at odds for Gravitational.”
