Racing and Sports finds the best-backed runners in early betting on Saturday’s meeting at Ipswich.

Track: Good 4

Rail: True

First race: 12.08pm

Salmanazar (Race 2) has won both of his starts this campaign and the money suggests he can chalk up a hat trick. His opening quote has more than halved into $2.80. Both victories have been by good margins and with just three career runs under his belt he is expected to progress to another level on Saturday.

Maurus (Race 6) enjoys a big drop in grade from Group 1 company and punters believe that can see him return to the winner’s stall, backing him as favourite into $2.35. He ran a career high rating when beaten less than 2L into fifth placing in the Doomben Cup and if he gets anywhere near that figure should have too much class.

Trubia (Race 7) is one of the day’s better backed favourites and has firmed the best part of two points into $2.50. He has been far from disgraced at his last couple of runs at Group level so is suited backed to Listed company and is a three-time winner at the distance.
