The John O’Shea trained Malice, who broke a 3 year winning drought last start in the ATC Cup at Rosehill, has opened favourite with Sportsbet.com.au to take out the Summer Cup (2000m) on Boxing Day at Randwick.
It was a ripping ride from James Doyle, who saved ground nearer the inside and dashed hard late to grab the win. The form out of that has stood up via the dominant win of Destiny’s Kiss ($7) in the Christmas Cup (2400m). Remaining at 2000m suits Malice more so than Destiny’s Kiss so it’s easy to see why he is top pick in betting.
Next best in betting is Centre Pivot, who despite being bolters odds, ran a cracking race in the Villiers behind Sense Of Occasion. Shinn is back on and up in trip should see the horse hard to beat. He has opened $4.60, just ahead of Amovatio at $5.
