Dandino heads market in Zipping Classic

Thursday 12 November 2015, 6:37am

Melbourne Cup winning trainer Darren Weir is chasing another feature race success with one of his stayers at Sandown.

Dandino, the winner of the Queen's Cup at Flemington last weekend, is the favourite to take out the Zipping Classic on Saturday.

The imported stayer is a $3.20 chance in early markets ahead of Rising Romance at $3.40 and Who Shot Thebarman, a last-start 11th in the Melbourne Cup, at $4.

Tall Ship, a stablemate of Dandino, is a $6.50 chance while Sertorius, winner of the 2013 Zipping Classic and 12th in the Melbourne Cup, is a $21 chance.

The runners from the Melbourne Cup lining up in the 3200m Sandown Cup hold three of the top four spots in betting.

Almoonqith, 18th behind Prince Of Penzance heads the market at $4.60 ahead of The Offer (eighth) at $5.50 and Grand Marshal (21st) at $6.50.

De Little Engine, successful over 2800m at Flemington on Melbourne Cup day, shares the second line with The Offer.
