Observer (race 9) is set to be one of the most popular gallopers on the Cox Plate card.
The emerging 3yo stayer comes off a luckless third in the Caulfield Guineas, stepping to 2040m in the Vase on Saturday.
Being a son of Ghaiyyath he’s bred to get out over a staying trip and this does look a drop back in grade from a Group 1 Guineas assignment last start.
Leading jockey Mark Zahra takes the ride on Saturday and many expect him to push forward and control the race.
He has been well backed since markets opened, tightening into as short as $1.95 by Thursday afternoon.
Baggybet are offering Betsy readers an enhanced $5 about Observer to win Saturday’s Vase (max bet $10).
