The betting plunge on Cliodhna Maeve was one of the bigger, if not the biggest market move of the week. The Samantha Wynne trained 3yo was backed in from $15.00 when markets opened, all the way into the tote favourite at $4.50 come the jump on Saturday. The race couldn’t have gone less to plan for Cliodhna Maeve, with the 3yo filly being impeded from as soon as the gates opened and then not obtaining clear running until the race was effectively over. Once eventually getting clear running, Cliodhna Maeve ran the fastest closing 200m of the race, suggesting she may have finished a lot closer should she have had an ounce more luck in running. The market support and the manner in which Cliodhna Maeve hit the lines suggests she is one to follow next time.
