A winner of four of his five starts, Unencumbered has been the best backed runner in the Magic Millions with one punter unloading $7500 on him at $4.50 before tomorrow’s barrier draw.
“We expect the punters will rally again for him if he draws well tomorrow. If he does, he could get as short as $3 by race day.” Sportingbet’s Michael Felgate said.
“He’s been super impressive winning his last couple of starts, nothing seems to faze him and you know he will be strong at the end of a fast run 1200,” Felgate said.
Team Hawkes’ impressive debut winner Invisible has also had support, firming from $6 into $5.50.
“The Hawkes horses are flying at the moment so it’s no surprise to see money for Invisible who was $51 for the Millions before winning on debut,” Felgate said
One time Millions favourite Oakleigh Girl, eased from $4.80 out to $13 after finishing a well beaten fourth to Unencumbered last start but has firmed back into $9 in the past couple of days.
Sweet Idea heads the market in the Magic Millions 3YO Guineas. The Gai Waterhouse-trained filly, who finished second in the 2YO Millions last year, is $4.80 ahead of Enquare at $5.50.
“Sweet Idea might be favourite but punters have been keen to bet around her so far. She returned from a bleeding attack with a gutsy win but has never raced over 1400 so I wouldn’t be surprised if she gets out to a better price before Saturday,” Felgate said.
