Second favourite Solzhenitsyn has firmed from $7 into $6.50 and Strawberry Boy has shortened from $8 into $7.

“We haven’t written a bet over $500 for the favourite but there’s been plenty of cash around for a few at longer odds,” Sportingbet Australia spokesman Andrew Brown said.

“Rebel Dane is having his first start at Caulfield and has a tricky barrier. At this stage the punters have abandoned him and he could start closer to $6 on Sunday,” Brown said.

Australian Guineas winner Ferlax has also attracted support and is $10 into $9.50 at Sportingbet, while Temple Of Boom has shortened from $21 into $18.
