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

Track: Soft 6

Rail: True

First race: 12.10pm

Rainbow Nation (Race 2) is challenging for favouritism after being backed in more than half a point early to a fixed odds quote of $3.10. The Gerald Ryan-trained gelding comes off a clear career peak performance when an all-the-way maiden winner at Wyong. That was just his fourth career run and second from a spell so he looks capable of further progression.

Memes (Race 5) is a clear second favourite after being backed in a half-point to $3.90. One of only a handful of these to face the starter, Memes was just nosed out on debut at this track and distance. Punters are putting their faith in the benefit of that experience helping her go one better today.

Moroccan Ruby (Race 7) has been one of the best early goes of the day, firming in a full point to take early favouritism at $3.20. The filly was only just run down after leading at this track and distance to be beaten 0.3 lengths last time and her trainer Bjorn Baker is in good form at present.
