Marcus Bontempelli had better stop working on his Rising Star acceptance speech, with Lewis Taylor firming from $4.50 into $3.25 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au today on the back of punter support.
Bontempelli remains the $1.50 favourite, but todays push for Taylor suggests it is far from a forgone conclusion.
Its daylight between Bontempelli, Taylor and the rest, with Josh Kelly the next in the market at $17.
“Bontempelli has been the favourite for weeks and we didn’t see this push for Taylor coming. But with the push today, his odds have firmed to $3.25 and you can expect them to be even shorter by Wednesday if this continues,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.
