HE is the least experienced horse in tonight’s Schweppes Sprint at Menangle yet Western Sonador has received strong support for the Group 1.
The 20-start veteran opened at $41 and is now into $9 with TAB Fixed Odds for the Miracle Mile qualifier.
Up against the challenge of the odds on elect King Of Swing, who has drawn favourably in barrier two and drifted out slightly in the market, Western Sonador will begin from barrier eight with the removal of the two emergencies.
The Victorian produced the fastest final sectionals when runner up in last week’s Newcastle Mile.
The first two horses across the line in tonight’s Schweppes and Allied Express Sprints will be invited to the $1million Miracle Mile.
