King Challenge Form Guide
February 5th, 2008 by Doogs
The King Challenge Central Coast is only a few weeks away and bookies are starting to set the odds for the big event:
- K. Jones (3/1 Fav) – Jones weekend win has moved him into favourite for the King Challenge, critics are noting that Jones has peaked too early and he may take a hefty beating from the handicapper. But any hint of form leading into a King Challenge is rare so the smart money has been moved to the Jones Boy
- S. DaCosta (4/1) - DaCosta hasnt had the best of preparations so far, but scouts noticed him form at the Mallacoota Invitational where he could do no wrong, repeat that ball striking on the Challenge and he will be wearing the purple jacket on the final day.
- D. Armstrong (7/1) - Bookies are unsure of the rookie Armstrong, his form is a closely gaurded secret to date and many punters are banking on the second rookie win since Millar surprised the field on the Murray.
- M.Hauser (10/1) – Surprisingly the title holder has dropped odds with bookies questioning his inconsistent form and rumours of a new driver. All eyes will be on his form at Moonah Links this weekend to see if the swing holds up.
The Purple Jacket – What they are all playing for!
