If betting is any guide, High Midnight is poised to make the step-up to Group company in Saturday’s Villiers Stakes.
Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has turned High Midnight from $11 into $9.00 for the Randwick Group 2.
The Gai Waterhouse-Adrian Bott trained Fabrizio is a solid $3.00 favourite.
Former Perth ‘miler’ Hazzabeel ($8.50) is second favourite and the only other runner under double figures.
“High Midnight won a Benchmark race at his last start, but there’s plenty of punters who think he can do it. Fabrizio is the class runner of the field, but if you take him out of the equation it is a very open race,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
