How the favourite’s have fared

IT looks like New Zealand stayer Mr Tipsy will carry the hopes of most punters going into today’s Sydney Cup at Randwick.
In what looks to be one of the most open Sydney Cups in recent years, Mr Tipsy has continued to firm in the Sportingbet market during the week, although only slightly, and at $6.50 he is now the outright favourite.
With the three emergencies out, he has come in three from his original barrier draw of 16 and now jumping from barrier 13 doesn’t look too bad.
There has been good money for the Bart Cummings trained Dandaad who has firmed two points since he drew barrier three.
The in form but up in class Casa De Campo has also come in from $81.00 to $41.00.
The Sydney Cup has been a good race for punters in recent years with three of the last six public elects getting the prize.
