Faint Perfume the hot favourite for Crown Oaks

Faint Perfume has been backed to the exclusion of all other runners to continue Bart Cummings remarkable Spring and win tomorrow’s Crown Oaks.

Sportingbet Australia CEO Michael Sullivan said Faint Perfume had shortened from $2.00 to $1.75 and it was impossible to write a bet on any other runner.

“All the money is for Faint Perfume including a bet of $150,000 at $1.85,” said Sullivan

“The class filly usually does win this race and the way she won on Saturday it’s hard to see anything jumping out of the pack.”

“We shortened her to $2.00 after she won the Wakeful but punters took that price immediately.”

Sullivan said despite the race looking like a one act affair he would still be taking on the favourite.

“We’ll be standing Faint Perfume for a fortune and we will be hoping the likes of Melito can cause a boilover,” Sullivan said.
