Greyhound Melbourne Cup Heading West?

West On Augie has been the best backed runner to beat favourite Black Opium in tomorrow night’s TAB Melbourne Cup at Sandown.

The West Australian has firmed from $10-$8.50 and is responsible for 20 percent of the early investment on the race with Black Opium, the $3.10 favourite, the only dog to be holding more.

In terms of popularity it is Black Opium (26%) in front of West On Augie, with My Redeemer (18%) and Poke The Bear (15%) next best supported.
