Early betting picture for the Ladbrokes Stakes

Brad Waters - Wednesday October 11

Kiwi mare Bonneval is the favourite to maintain her unbeaten Melbourne record in Saturday's Group I Ladbrokes Stakes (2000m) at Caulfield.

Punters could win enough for a trip to Bonneval in France if the mare continues her hot form on Saturday.

Bonneval won the Dato Tan Chin Nam Stakes (1600m) first-up before proving too strong in the Group I Underwood Stakes (1800m) to become the Caulfield Cup favourite.

All bar one bookmaker has Bonneval as the $3 top pick in the Ladbroke Stakes betting while Godolphin galloper Hartnell is the second favourite at prices between $3.10 and $3.30.

ATC Australian Derby winner Jon Snow and Gailo Chop are the only other runners with single-figure quotes available.
