Sir John Monash Stakes Betting - Gran Sasso to Salute for Punters

With a handy field of winter sprinters lined up in Saturday's Listed Sir John Monash Stakes at Caulfield, IASbet bookmaker Mark Read is tipping the favourite, Gran Sasso, to salute for punters.

"I am certain Invincible ($3.70) will set a keen pace up front and, from his gun draw, Gran Sasso ($3.10) will be right on his hammer," said Read. "Besides the perfect run, his current form and fitness easily sets the benchmark for this race."

While confident about the chances of the favourite, Read believes that any boilover will be an in-house job, giving Orange County a rough chance.

"Orange County ($6.00) has a class edge, goes well when fresh and appreciates give in the track, ticking all the boxes as appealing each way value in this race. Inversely, I'm opposing Damselfly ($5.00) as I regard his current quote as under the odds."
