It would be no surprise to see the betting ring try to close in on New Bird and although he is the likeliest winner, he not one to take too-short-a-price about. Major Sponsor, Stone Cold and Taakid could all represent decent value in the hope that they can take the race to New Bird and at least run into a place at more respectable odds.
