Dorami is favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au for the feature race at Wagga on Friday, the Ted Ryder Cup (1600m).

Ferlaxing is on the second line of betting at $4.20, clear of Ruban…

Tamworth Cup winner Banju heads the Ladbrokes.com.au market for the Scone Cup (1600m) this afternoon in what is a Big Dance Qualifier. The Lyle Chandler trained gelding has already secured his spot in the field for the $2 Million race on Melbourne Cup Day having won the Tamworth Cup but fitter and up to the mile, he looks hard to beat. Market…

Queensland raider Uncommon James heads the Ladbrokes.com.au market for the Rubiton Stakes (1100m) this afternoon at Sandown. The O'Dea/Hoysted trained gelding is first up and despite having eyes on better races, he looked to trial well at Deagon and Damian Lane is back on after riding the horse in the Spring. Opened $3.30 and remains pretty solid…

Quality Godolphin four year old Brigantine is favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au for The Buffering (1350m) this Saturday at Doomben. The James Cummings trained gelding ran in the Razor Sharp at Randwick last time and seemingly had his chance behind Sky Command but wasn't entirely suited by the race shape. More genuine tempo this time around and up in…

Aramayo is favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au for the Bernborough Plate (1600m) this Saturday at Doomben in what looks a competitive race on paper. The gelding has been excellent in two runs for Sam Kavanagh and looks primed for this weekend, third up from a break. $4 was the opening price and he touched $4.20, but is now back into $3.90 and holds the…

Punters only want one horse when it comes to the feature race at Eagle Farm this Saturday, the Doomben 10000 (1200m).

Arapaho has been the early firmer with Ladbrokes.com.au for the feature race at Newcastle on Friday, the Newcastle Cup (2300m). The Bjorn Baker trained galloper has been up a while but is holding his form very nicely and should be suited up in trip. He has the one that has been backed early, into $6 from $8.50. Favourite for the race is Victorian…

Champion mare Verry Elleegant is the Ladbrokes.com.au favourite in the feature race at Randwick this afternoon, the Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m). The all time great hasn't been at her best this time in but the thought process is that Chris Waller, like he did with Nature Strip last Saturday, will get his star ready for her Grand Final, and…

With a drying track potentially on the cards, Ladbrokes.com.au punters are warming to a progressive filly in the get out at Flemington this Thursday, the Red Roses (1100m).

Hitotsu and Regal Lion are the two Ladbrokes.com.au punters want when it comes to the Australian Derby (2400m) this afternoon at Randwick.

Best backed outside him has clearly been Regal…

Interpretation is a well supported favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au for the Bart Cummings (2510m) this afternoon at Flemington.

He's been best backed to win this afternoon as well,…

Punters are casting the net far and wide in search of the winner of the Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) this afternoon at Eagle Farm.

The main one is The…

As is the case every year, there has been plenty of early action via Sportsbet.com.au for the Melbourne Cup (3200m) on Tuesday at Flemington.

Punters have a staged a late plunge on today's $3m Doncaster Mile at Randwick with heavy support coming for a long shot out of the Godolphin yard.

Punters have honed in on a last start Group l winner to take out the Stradbroke Handicap (1400m) this Saturday at Eagle Farm.

Real Sensation has been a key firmer in the Sportsbet.com.au market for the Melbourne Cup Carnival Country Final (1600m) at Flemington this afternoon.
