Coronation Lance (Race 3) has been the one punters have wanted to back early in a race with an easing odds-on favourite. He has firmed several points to $4.20 with TopBetta . He comes off a solid debut effort when third on soft going and punters are looking for natural improvement to bring him into the contest.

Favourite Sister (Race 4) is still offering each way value at $5.50 despite almost halving her opening quote since markets opened. She has been close up in four runs this campaign, three of them coming on a synthetic surface and with a return to the turf today is expected to improve.

Palmera Lad (Race 10) has taken over as favourite at $4.80 with steady supporting seeing his fixed odds quite firm the best part of two full points. He finished down the track as favourite last start but had run a good fourth when resuming and punters are being forgiving and looking for an improved effort third up.
