And if Dandino’s recent gallop is anything to go by Botti has unearthed another Cup candidate.

A winner of a relatively modest $226,000 in his career so far, Dandino is a six year old and a late bloomer on the improve if press reaction is to be believed. Crunched in the Melbourne Cup odds after a recent gallop, the bookies are now offering $21.00 for Botti’s European import to give the trainer his first Melbourne Cup win.

Fiorente still heads the odds for the Cup at $6.00 despite having his regular rider (Rawiller) jocked off after two fast finishing places from seemingly impossible positions round the home turn. Damien Oliver now takes the ride for the Cox Plate and Cup. Hawkspur and Puissance De Lune are next best at the odds at $7.00.

Dandino’s credentials will be firmly put to the test in the 2013 Caulfield Cup, after which Botti will know whether he’s got a serious chance at Cup glory.
