A dozen in-form sprinters represent their respective slot-holders in what is shaping-up as a hot-paced showdown for the third running of the weight-for-age The Everest (1200m).
Anthony Freedman’s Santa Ana Lane is the top-rated and deserving favourite in The Everest betting at Ladbrokes.com.au after running smart time for a first-up second in the Group 2 Gilgai Stakes at Flemington.
A second-up specialist with that heroic TJ Smith Stakes win from the autumn over The Everest track and distance make the seven-year-old the one to beat even with the possibility of trouble from near the inside (2).
There are a trio of rivals under double-figure The Everest odds including the now Chris Waller-trained market mover Arcadia Queen out to prove she can blow her rivals away over 1200m as impressively as she’s done over the 1400m – 1800m distance range.
Add into the mix two-time defending The Everest champion Redzel looking to add to his stagging $15.6 million in prize money and the sure-to-be pacemaker Nature Strip at huge odds and it’s a race not to miss.
Below we have summed up the winning hopes of all The Everest horses in two words before you head to Ladbrokes.com.au for top odds on the $14 million showdown.
