Irish sprint star Slade Power 9-2 for Flemington glory

The Diamond Jubilee and July Cup winner Slade Power is 9-2 second favourite with Coral for Saturday’s Darley Classic, in their opening show on the Flemington contest. Chautauqua is the 5-4 favourite, with Australian horse of the year Lankan Rupee third in the betting at 5-1.

“International raiders have cleaned up Down Under in recent weeks, with the Caulfield Cup, Cox Plate and Melbourne Cup all being won by visitors, and we respect Slade Power’s chances of scooping another big prize, although sprinting is one area the Aussies have excelled in, and in Chautauqua the home side can call on a very strong favourite,” said Coral’s David Stevens.

Closer to home, Mount Logan heads Coral’s betting for the November Handicap at 8-1, ahead of Farquhar at 9-1.
