Sportsbet posted markets on the four international features last week. The odds are in their favour. Hong Kong readers can only read along and laugh. For those overseas, we've provided a couple of horses that will probably be over the odds come raceday.  

18 horses are under 20/1 in their market. Teofilo Calva won't run. Bundle Of Joy, Peniaphobia, Exciting Dream, Golden Harvest, Smart Volatility and Super Jockey are all 106. Gold-Fun and Able Friend are bound for the Hong Kong Mile. Charles The Great is 66/2. The market prices as of 9am this morning are: $5 Aerovelocity, Gold Fun, Teo Calvao, Snow Dragon, G Force, Spalato, Lucky Nine, Buffering, Straight Girl, Sole Power, Noozhoh Canarias, Gordon Lord Byron, San Carlo, Robe Tissage, and others.

The Hong Kong Mile has not been won by a foreigner since Katsuhiko Sumii’s Hat Trick won for Japan in 2005.

Overseas HKIR markets show the odds are in favour of the bookies. The market percentage is 264%. Designations On Rome, Farraaj, Military Attack, Just A Way, Beauty Only, Al Kazeem, Cirrus des Aigles, Criterion, Tullius, Nuovo Record, Toast Of New York, Curren Mirotic, Epiphaneia, Lucky Lion are the horses with the highest odds.
