It is shaping up as a wide open edition of the 2014 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes at Caulfield Racecourse on Sunday with narrow favourite in the markets on the 14 horse field being the Peter Moody-trained Dissident.
A winner of back-to-back Group 1 wins in Melbourne this time in to take his elite level tally up to three, the Sebring four-year-old pays $5 through Ladbrokes.com.au to make it a hat-trick for the season in the $400,000 Group 1 Bendigo Bank East Malvern Sir Rupert Clarke Charity Cup (1400m).
Drawn ideally in barrier five with Luke Nolen staying on, Dissident carries the 58kg top weight which is half a kilo less than he’s carried to victory in both the Group 1 Memsie Stakes (1400m) here at Caulfield and the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes (1600m) since resuming.
The 1400m is a distance the star has twice won over from three starts with Moody looking to see whether he’ll be suited to more distance with the $3 million Group 1 Cox Plate (2040m) at Moonee Valley on October 25 in mind.
He currently sits top of the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes odds and that’s been a nice position in recent years statistically with the past two favourites saluting for the punters with Rebel Dane (2013) and Moment Of Change (2012).
As mentioned it’s a super tight betting battle for the handicap clash with five other single figure hopes:
Outside of the top six are then a host of other livewire chances at juicy odds with genuine claims for an upset Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes result.
Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes’ first-up Drummond Golf Stakes winner Atlante ($10) is next best in betting followed by the Colin Scott-trained Speediness ($12) who will be getting back from barrier 12, Group 3 winner Sistine Demon ($12) who is undefeated from two previous runs at this track and distance, and Late Charge ($13) in barrier two and coming off back-to-back wins this campaign.
