Lloyd Williams’ decision to run Fawkner in Saturday’s Turnbull Stakes has given punters an indication that Fawkner is his number one pick for the Caulfield Cup and the betting confirms it.
“Fawkner has been our biggest mover in Caulfield Cup betting in the past week firming from $67 into $26,” Sportingbet’s Michael Felgate said.
“The fact team Williams took Green Moon and Sea Moon out of the Turnbull Stakes to ensure Fawkner got a run tells us he is considered a major Caulfield Cup contender by the stable and the money has backed that up.”
Fawkner has opened a $13 chance in the Turnbull Stakes at Sportingbet Australia. Melbourne Cup favourite Puissance De Lune heads the betting at $3.80 ahead of Fiorente who has already been well supported from $5.50 into $5.
“Fiorente is the early punters pick well backed as soon as the market went up, but we expect Puissance De Lune to have good support before Saturday after drawing barrier 1.” Felgate said.
