Maluckyday opens as the favourite for The BMW 2011
Zabeel four-year-old Maluckyday burst onto the Australian racing scene during the spring scoring an impressive 1 ¾ length win in the Group 3 The Lexus Stakes (2500m) at Flemington on Victoria Derby Day.
Odds on the Michael, Wayne and John Hawkes-trained runner consequently shortened dramatically in the Melbourne Cup odds and Maluckday went on to run a gallant second behind Americain in the $6 million showdown.
Tipped to become one of our star stayers, Maluckday is now the $7 top elect in the futures markets at Luxbet for the $2.25 million Group 1 The BMW (2400m) at Rosehill Gardens on Golden Slipper Stakes Day, April 2, 2011.
Shocking is the $9 second favourite in the Luxbet The BMW markets.
The 2009 Melbourne Cup winner is set to resume racing in the Group 1 CF Orr Stakes (1400m) at Caulfield this Saturday, February 12, currently a $51 roughie in the field behind hot favourite Typhoon Tracy.
Other top fancies in the Fixed Win The BMW 2011 odds at Luxbet include:
- Zipping ($10) – Lloyd Williams’ nine-year-old in red-hot form during the spring and also running first-up in the CF Orr
- Descarado ($13) – Gai Waterhoue’s High Chaparral four-year-old who won the 2010 Caulfield Cup
- Harris Tweed ($13) – Genuine Kiwi stayer ran a good second in the Caulfield Cup and then fifth in the Melbourne Cup last year
- Linton ($13) – Stablemate of Zipping, improving Galileo four-year-old has the ability to win a Group 1 this season
- Metal Bender ($13) – Consistent five-year-old from the stables of Chris Waller, didn’t have the best spring season but is a multiple Group 1 winner that can return to form
- Moudre ($13) – One time favourite for the Caulfield Cup, Ciaron Maher’s Warrnambool galloper ideally suited to The BMW distance
Longer-priced The BMW entries that could prove excellent value bets come Golden Slipper Day include New Zealand stayer Ginga Dude ($26) winner of the Group 1 Zabeel Classic in NZ last start also experienced on Aussie tracks, last year’s Caulfield Guineas winner Anacheeva ($31) and Victoria Derby runner-up Praecido ($67).
