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

Track: Soft 5

Rail: Out 4m 800m - 400m, Out 3m Remainder

First race: 1.00pm

Baffert (Race 1) opened at each way odds but has halved its quote and is in to favouritism at $4 with TopBetta. The Mick Price-trained son of Exceed and Excel makes his debut and although he is drawn wide the punters have not been scared off and are looking for him to start his career with a win.

Semiramis (Race 2) is another to have opened at an each way quote but has been elevated to the top line of betting at $3.90 thanks to steady support. The filly has run fifth in each of her three starts this campaign including at Sandown last time and should be fully fit for her return to this company.

Grey Sambucca (Race 6) is the new market elect at $4.40 after shortening more than a point in early trading. He is coming off a last-placed finish at this track last start when he didn’t handle the wet track but he had a win and twp placings from his previous three runs this campaign and punters are looking for him to bounce back.
