One time Victoria Derby favourite Complacent has eased from $4.20 to $5.00 with online bookmaker Sportsbet Australia for Saturday’s Group 1 at Flemington.
If emergencies do not gain a start Complacent will jump from barrier 14, two from the outside. Favourite Savvy Nature ($4.60) fared slightly better and will start from gate 11 in the 16-horse field.
“Complacent has drawn the rails in his last two wins, so this will be new for the Darley colt. Savvy Nature is probably the least affected as he will go back,’’ Soportsbet’s Shaun Anderson said.
Two runners that fared well in the draw are Polanski ($8.50 into $7.00) and San Diego ($8.00 into $7.50).
Sportsbet.com.au will be paying out to 4 places in the Derby this weekend.
In other Derby day races, the Chris Waller trained Red Tracer ($2.25) dominates betting in the Myer Classic. The only other horse under double figures is Queenslander Fire Up Fifi ($5.50), while Zoustar has firmed further for the Coolmore Stakes.
