FANTA Bale has been installed as the short-priced favourite to win this Thursday’s Group 1 Gold Cup (710m) at Albion Park after a stunning heat victory over the track and trip last week.
The Rob Britton-trained superstar was fairly away from box eight, slotting into third spot behind Alota Amy (box one) and Big Easy Red (box seven) in the early stages.
Railing into second spot through the catching pen, Fanta Bale quickly began grinding back the margin, surging past Alota Amy coming off the back straight and sprinting clear.
