Former Magic Millions favourite Oakleigh Girl is once again attracting the interest of punters despite finishing fourth behind new favourite Unencumbered in last Saturday’s B. J. McLachlan Stakes at Doomben.
The Dan Bougoure-trained filly has firmed from $13 into $11 at Sportingbet courtesy of some significant wagers. She was a $4.80 favourite for the Magic Millions prior to her last start.
“We’ve been hit with a stack of bets since we pushed her price out after Saturday including one of $4,000 to collect over $50,000,” Sportingbet spokesman Andrew Brown said.
“There was still plenty to like about her last start and punters clearly expect she’ll improve from it,” Brown said.
Unencumbered has also firmed slightly from $4.60 into $4.50 at Sportingbet, while debut winner Invisible remains a solid $6 second favourite.
