Forty-one horses remain in the hunt for the 2012 Caulfield Cup after third acceptances were taken yesterday leading to some major changes in Caulfield Cup odds.
Gai Waterhouse-trained Glencadam Gold has been heavily backed after his impressive victory in the Group 1 Metropolitan Handicap (2400m) at Randwick on Saturday and is now at odds of $4.50 at bookmaker.com.au.
The six-year-old was allocated a 2kg weight penalty by Racing Victoria chief handicapper Greg Carpenter and is now guaranteed a start in the world’s richest 2400m race.
The imported gelding will now be ridden by two-time Caulfield Cup winning jockey Jim Cassidy who replaces rising Sydney jockey Tommy Berry.
Glencadam Gold is followed in 2012 Caulfield Cup betting markets by December Draw.
The imported stayer has been in consistent form in 2012, finishing third in the Underwood Stakes (1800m) and Turnbull Stakes (2000m).
December Draw is currently priced at $9 in the Caulfield Cup betting market.
The Caulfield Cup odds of Lloyd Williams-owned Seville were slashed after his impressive run behind Green Moon in the Turnbull Stakes.
The son of Galileo hit the line well and looked as though he will be perfectly suited to the 2400m of the Caulfield Cup.
2011 Caulfield Cup winner Southern Speed has drifted in Caulfield Cup betting markets after her disappointing performance in the Turnbull Stakes.
The Southern Image mare was one of the first horses’ beaten and finished fifteenth out of sixteen runners.
She is now available at odds of $18 at bookmaker.com.au.
French duo Americain and Dunaden are coming along nicely in the TAB International Horse Centre at Werribee with both expected to contest the Caulfield Cup.
Dunaden’s jockey Craig Williams is extremely confident about his mounts chances in Saturday week’s race and went as far as saying the son of Nicobar was a better chance of winning the Caulfield Cup than the Melbourne Cup.
Dunaden is priced at $14 in the Caulfield Cup betting market at bookmaker.com.au.
