Heatherly started as a $2.90 favourite in last year's win but could jump shorter than that quote on Saturday after opening as short as $2.05 on Wednesday afternoon.

Bookies have adjusted their prices to have Heatherly at either $2.25 or $2.30 and have the Mathew Ellerton and Simon Zahra-trained mare as the favourite ahead of the Darren Weir stable entrant Speedeor at $4.50.

Goodwood runner-up Missrock is on the next line of betting at either $7 or $7.50 ahead of Winx's little brother El Divino, who is trading at either $8 or $8.50.
