Caulfield Cup Odds: A Look At Bande
October 3rd, 2014 by Pom de TurfHave a little look at the Racing odds for the Melbourne Cup right now by following that link, and you’ll see that as of today on Sportsbet, The Offer and Bande are sharing the favourites tag for The Race That Stops A Nation, with odds of $12.00 on offer for both of them. And Bande is right in the mix for the Caulfield Cup, too – you’ll get odds of $11.00 for him at the moment, which puts him on the second line alongside Rising Romance and just behind the favourite Lucia Valentina.
But who is this Japanese raider who’s drawing so much media attention in the 2014 Melbourne Spring? Bande comes into the Spring campaign in the shadow of Admire Rakti a little bit: there’s a feeling that he’s a work in progress, and not quite as close to the finished article as Admire Rakti is, but then Admire Rakti will be carrying the top weight in the Melbourne Cup, where Bande’s load might be that bit more manageable. They’ll look to run the race in different styles, too, with Bande wanting a pace set right from the start while Admire Rakti will look to sit off the back and finish strongly. They could be a great pair of inclusions for punters, not just because they could easily be the start of an influx of exciting Japanese prospects making their way to Australia, but also because these two could be the catalysts for a very exciting Melbourne Cup indeed!
So check out the Racing odds for Bande for both the Melbourne Cup and the Caulfield Cup in 2014. He’s a horse who comes with well-managed expectations, but if he has a couple of really strong runs in 2014, then he’ll be a huge chance in the future…
