In what has been a battle for favouritism in the past seven days, Comanche is currently the $2.80 favourite at TAB to claim line honours in the 2019 Sydney to Hobart Yacht Race, which commences at 1pm AEDT on Boxing Day.
This time yesterday, Comanche was $3.50 to secure line honours for the third time but with 40 percent of the overall support from TAB customers, Comanche has returned to the top of the TAB market at $2.80.
Nine-time line honours winner Wild Oats XI was $2.80 favourite on Saturday, $3 on Sunday and yesterday morning and is now the $3.25 second elect due to the money for Comanche.
Black Jack was runner-up in the battle for line honours 12 months ago and has drifted from as short as $3 to $3.75 courtesy of the support for Comanche.
SHK Scallywag 100 has eased in the past seven days from $4.50 to $7.
