Appearance was installed favourite, but injury has forced connections to retire the mare. Online bookmaker Sportsbet.com.au has posted the Waller trained pair equal favourites at $3.20.
“The Ryder still looks a great race. Like us, punters will probably find it hard to split Boban and Red Tracer,’’ said Sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
Messene remains dominate favourite in Doncaster betting at $3.50. Catkins ($9.00) and classy three-year-old El Roca ($10) have had some early support for the April 12 Group 1.
