The Pat Webster-trained gelding was a $4.60 chance before bookies pulled all-in markets and after drawing perfectly in barrier 4 for the feature handicap, he's now a high price of $3.80.

Chris Waller's Egg Tart is battling an eye infection and yet to be cleared to take her place in the field by the Racing NSW vet but she remains a solid second elect at $5.50 ahead of her stablemates Comin' Through ($8.50), Foxplay and Tom Melbourne ($10).

It's then out to $15 chance Sound Proposition, with the outsider Embley at $101.
