Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has installed Holden’s Jamie Whincup as the $3.00 favourite for tomorrow’s opening race of the V8 Supercars round in Townsville.
Ford pair Will Davison ($4.33) and Mark Winterbottom ($4.50) are next in the market with Craig Lowndes priced at $5.00.
“If practice is anything to go by, it looks like it’s going to be a red hot battle between Team Vodafone and FPR once again,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes.
David Reynolds, who topped the final practice session this afternoon, looms as the biggest threat to the big four, opened at $11.
Former F1 World Champ Jacques Villeneuve is given little chance to win Race 1, priced at $501.
