TANK TOPS EASTER CUP MARKET

Ian Fortune

Lennies Tank is favourite to land the Shelbourne Park Bookmakers Easter Cup on Saturday night. BOYLE Sports have installed the Paul Hennessy trained star as their 7-4 favourite to land the oldest classic on the calendar. 

Droopys Faithful was back to something close to her best on Saturday, winning in 29.58 and she is the clear second choice in the market, just behind Lennies Tank, on 2-1. Despite posting the fastest time of the classic in his semi-final success, Calaway Knegare is only third choice in the market at 3-1.

Lemon Orla suffered her first defeat of the competition in the semis and is 6-1 to win from an ideal draw on the fence. Lemon Hidalgo has greatly outrun his odds throughout the classic and will look to do so again. He is available at 12-1, while Lennies Madge is the rank outsider of the field at 20-1. Despite her price, it would be no surprise if she were to run into the frame.
