Cup favourite springs into action

SATURDAY 4.50PM

The Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington has attracted a fantastic field, including Melbourne Cup favourite Incentivise. The boom stayer has crunched into favouritism, even though the 1600m is well short of his best distance. Memsie Stakes winner Tofane was the early favourite, but has since eased. Rising star Mo’unga also holds the second line of betting after his first-up win in the Winx Stakes. Cox Plate champ Sir Dragonet and ATC Derby winner Explosive Jack are other notable runners.
