Victorian sprinter Shamal Wind is the only Aussie left in the King’s Stand Stakes, but he is the most popular.
Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au reports solid backing for Shamal Wind ($7.00), for Wednesday morning’s Ascot Group 1.
Sole Power heads the market at $4.50 with Muthmir second pick at $5.50.
Trainer Chris Waller has elected to head to the Diamond Jubilee with Brazen Beau.
The Newmarket winner is $3.50 favourite ahead of Mustajeeb ($6.50) and the Gai Waterhouse trained Wandjina ($13).
“We’re a patriotic lot, so it’s not surprising the Aussies are dominating betting in the sprints. With Brazen Beau now heading to Saturday’s race Shamal Wind is the one punters want and he holds four times the money than Sole Power,’’ said sportsbet.com.au’s Will Byrne.
