Early betting trends - Randwick, September 5

Sporting News Logo

Louis Baudron's stayer Orion Love was scratched from the Wyong Cup on Friday after drawing the outside barrier and looks well placed in Benchmark 83 grade over 2000-metres in the opening race.

Bookmaker Bet365 opened Orion Love at $13 but continual support has seen the six-year-old mare trim-up to top odds of $8.50.

Popular Warwick Farm trainer Gabrielle Englebrecht has Cannyescent in the Group III Ming Dynasty (1400m) after a luckless fifth in the Up & Coming Stakes (1300m) here a fortnight back.

The lightly raced son of Canny Lad opened at $4.40 but has been backed into a best current price of $3.80.

Perhaps the best backed runner in early betting is Gai Waterhouse's Speak Fondly in the Group II Furious Stakes (1200m).

A dominant first-up winner here in the Silver Shadow, punters jumped all over the opening quote of $3.80, with the best price available now being $2.80.
