In one of the most open Centrebet.com Geelong Cups, Godolphin star Crime Scene has opened $5.00 favourite on Centrebet to win Wednesday’s $200,000.00 Group 3 classic!
Centrebet media chief Neil Evans said Luca Cumani’s last-ditch Melbourne Cup hopeful Basaltico was close-up on the second line at $5.50, ahead of promising Kiwi invader Sterling Prince ($8.00)! The highest-rated Australian-based galloper is Lou Luciani’s Perth Cup winner Guyno on the $10.00 line just ahead of tough Kiwi stayer Young Centaur ($11.00)!
“Punters will back any number in this race, but you have to be respectful of the UK runners’ form, even though they are not the absolute top-liners,” Evans said. “I have no doubt Kiwi raider Sterling Prince, who boasts some very strong form over the mile coming in and has top jockey Hugh Bowman in the saddle, and WA champ Guyno who’s crying out for a dry track, will both be fancied in early markets!”
Basaltico, ridden by Damien Oliver, is attempting to do a Bauer and land the Geelong Cup en route to a start in the Melbourne Cup on November 3! “Both Basaltico and Crime Scene are real chances in a race like this, although I believe Crime Scene is the superior mile-and-a-half horse,” Evans said.
Six O’Clock News, drawn badly but carrying big wraps from across the Tasman, has opened a $15.00 shot on Centrebet, alongside the Darren Weir-trained Leica Ding who has cost punters plenty lately when beaten as a heavily-backed favourite, yet is still capable of winning despite also drawing a horror gate!
Centrebet is offering a $100,000.00 bonus to any trainer who can win the Listed Geelong Classic (2206m) – Victoria Derby double for three-year-olds!
