Once it was confirmed champion jockey Damian Oliver would ride Spirit Of Boom ($17), wagers for the six-year-old with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au started to come in.

Favourite Lankan Rupee ($2.50) however remains the best backed runner by a fair margin, while Knoydart ($6.50) and Shamal Wind ($7.00) are the only other runners under double figures.

“The betting move coincided with Ollie’s booking. Ollie is popular and in career best form and Temple Of Boom is a handy sprinter in his own right,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“Overall, all the early money points to Lankan Rupee running away with this one.”
