The 2012 Layne Beachley Classic looks set to be a battle between Australia’s two biggest stars after leading online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au installed Stephanie Gilmore and Sally Fitzgibbons in the top two positions in the market.

Gilmore has been opened as the $3.25 favourite ahead of Fitzgibbons, who is at $4.50. The Aussie duo’s biggest threat looks to be Hawaiian Carissa Moore ($5.00) while fellow countrywoman Tyler Wright ($6.00) also a contender.

“Picking the winner could be tough, one things looks like a decent chance to happen and that is an Aussie winning the event,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.
“Four of the top five in the betting are from Australia so the odds are in our favour on that front.”
Aussie Laura Enever is next in the market at $13 ahead of Coco Ho ($15) while Rebecca Woods – the remaining Australian in the market – is a $41 outsider.

More Joyus may have the run of the race depending on weather conditions after drawing barrier 12, but has drifted slightly for the Doncaster Mile, out from $5.50 to $6.00 with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

She is now equal favourite with noted wet tracker Secret Admirer, who has held firm at $6.00 despite drawing barrier 22.

“More Joyus has drawn beautifully but there are obviously some question marks depending on how wet the track is on the day,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

Buddy Franklin may still remain as the $2.75 favourite for the Coleman Medal, but support has come for Geelong forward Tom Hawkins, firming from $17 to $12 over the weekend with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Amazingly, Hawkins opened at $51 to win the Coleman in early January and was once as long as $81 in February.

“He has carried on his form from last year’s Grand Final and he has shortened after every round so far this year,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“Buddy is still the one they want, but while guys like Nick and Jack Riewoldt and Josh Kennedy are drifting, the market shows that Hawkins is a real contender.”

In Brownlow betting, Gary Ablett continues to firm, in from $8.00 to $5.00 after another brilliant game in round 3.

With one day to go until the 2012 Cleo Bachelor of the Year is announced, Hayden Quinn remains favourite but appears to be no certainty, with Nathan Jolliffe firming from $9.00 to $4.50 over the last week with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Quinn has drifted slightly from $3.00 to $3.25, while James O’Connor remains on the second line of betting at $3.50, with Jolliffe next in the market at $4.50.

AFL star Sharrod Wellingham has also been given some chance at $5.00, while fellow footy player Bernie Vince has drifted from $17 to $21.
“Hayden has been the favourite since the market opened, but there has been some late support for Nathan Jolliffe and it really looks to be an open market,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“There has now been more money for Jolliffe than anyone else, so he looks to be in with a real chance!”

Online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au has installed superstar Black Caviar at $1.04 for the 1200m Group 1 Classic on April 28 at Morphettville in Adelaide.

The undefeated mare has also been priced at $1.12 for the Goodwood Handicap two weeks later.

“At level weights against mares she is virtually unbeatable. She may start even shorter,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“She will be slightly longer in the Goodwood as she will carry the maximum top weight but you’d think she’d simply be too good yet again.”

The Western Force have been priced at $4.00 to not win another game this Super Rugby season by online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au after coach Richard Graham announced he’s leaving the club at the end of the season.

The Force are favoured to win one or two ($1.50) of their remaining eight games but going winless for the rest of the year is second in the market.

“It’s huge news so it will be interesting to see what affect it will have on their performances between now and the end of the season,” sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes said.

“Surely they’ll jag one more but you never know.”

Winning three or four games has been priced at $4.50 while winning seven or eight games is the $101 outsider.

GWS may be struggling to win their first game but it seems a near certainty that one of their young guns will claim the Rising Star award, with five of the top six chances with online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au coming from the Giants.

Although he is far from their highest profile recruit, Toby Greene is the equal $10 favourite to win the award along with round 1 nominee Claye Beams from the Lions.

The next four favourites all come from the Giants, with Adam Kennedy coming in from $12 to $11, Jeremy Cameron from $14 to $12, Stephen Coniglio $14 to $13 and Thomas Bugg steady at $14.

Carlton’s Kane Lucas, who started the year as the $7.00 favourite, has drifted out to $16.

“Unsurprisingly the Giants have a heap of players who look like a chance to take out the award,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Shaun Anderson.

“What is a surprise is some of the names who are right up there. Only a month ago punters didn’t even know who the likes of Greene, Kennedy and Bugg were. However according to our market that is no longer the case.”

Ricky Stuart will pick Canberra’s Josh Dugan at fullback for New South Wales in Game 1 of the 2012 State of Origin series not Jarryd Hayne says online bookmaker sportsbet.com.au.

Sportsbet.com.au has installed Dugan as the $1.60 favourite ahead of Hayne, who’s been priced at $2.65.

“Although he’s been out injured, he’s a class act and showed he has what it takes for Origin in game one last year,” said sportsbet.com.au’s Ben Hawes. “He’s a game breaker and that’s what New South Wales needs.”

Manly’s Brett Stewart is on the third line of betting at $5.50 with Ben Barba and any other player both priced at $26.

The Dockers are priced at $2.95.
