Dermody Stakes Betting - Orbiting Belle Set for Take Off at Morphettville

In his review of Saturday's Dermody Stakes at Morphettville, IASbet bookmaker Mark Read is opposing hometown favourite Augusta Proud as she looks to extend her resume at the top level.

"Augusta Proud ($3.00) has not saluted the judge since March 2008 and may struggle with the speed in this race, which will be run at a blistering pace from the outset," stated Read.

"Another factor to take into account is that this is Chad Lever's maiden ride on her under race conditions. There is no doubt that she is the superior horse on paper, but the odds are nothing but prohibitive."

In turn, Read is supporting the improving Mick Price-trained filly Orbiting Belle ($8.00).

"Given the dimensions of the track, the draw is not a worry for the youngster. She will sit just off the pace, positioning her for a strong run to the finish. She ticks all the boxes as a genuine race horse and contender."
