Hussler Favoured in Diva Re-Match

Saturday’s Group 2 Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington is a race in two in the pre-post betting.

Sportingbet have listed Weekend Hussler the $2.10 favourite, while enticing punters with $2.60 for Light Fantastic.

The next two in betting are classy mares Zarita and Riva San, who share the third line at $13.00.

The top two fancies have given the media and racing public plenty to talk about since their first clash when Light Fantastic took the first round in the Liston Stakes.

Weekend Hussler bounced back to winning form to take last weekend’s Memsie Stakes and will back up for the much anticipated re-match as both horses head towards their spring targets.

Weekend Hussler is a marginal favourite for the Cox Plate at $4.20 just ahead of Light Fantastic at $4.40.

But his main aim is the Caulfield Cup, where he is also favourite at $4.20, while Light Fantastic, unlikely to run, is posted at $26.00.
