Lidari has quickly become Sportingbet’s worst result in its final field book for Saturday’s Crown Golden Ale Caulfield Cup.
A $19 chance prior to Tuesday’s barrier draw, punters have since crunched the Peter Moody-trained six-year-old into $10 equal third favouritism at Sportingbet.com.au.
“We’ve been hit with a heap of significant bets, including $3,000 at $19 and $2,000 at $15, and the way things are going he’ll be single figures on the day,” William Hill’s Andrew Brown said.
Bande has been the next best backed runner at Sportingbet and has attracted one bet of $6,000 at $8 since Tuesday’s barrier draw. Admire Rakti remains steady at $10.
“Of the two Japanese runners, punters are rallying behind Bande for the Caulfield Cup, and are backing Admire Rakti with more enthusiasm for the Melbourne Cup.”
Favourite Lucia Valentina remains rock solid at $4.40.
