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

Va Bene Amore (Race 2) has taken over as the favourite at $2.60 having firmed the best part of a point since markets opened. She has run fourth at her two runs since a spell and could be ready to show her best third up.

Tradies Tea Break (Race 5) is challenging for favouritism at $4.60, which is almost three points shorter than his opening price. He was a big improver when winning his maiden last start at his second career outing and there is confidence he can go on with the job.

Fast Stryke (Race 6) is a dominant favourite at $2.25 having tightened almost a full point in early trading. The super consistent gelding has never missed a placing in nine career runs and deserves another win having been runner up at all three starts this time in.

Castle Hackett (Race 7) has halved his opening quote to $5.50 so could be worth an each way ticket. He enjoys a big drop on grade in his last run in the city and had placed in open company before that.
