Honeycreeper ($4 – $3.40- $4.40) was supported all week after opening at $6 but ran out of stock late while Gypsy Goddess ($4.60-$4) and Hinged ($ 3.80 fav) are two things they are late to. The latter overtook Honeycreeper for bias in the last five minutes of betting.

Colette ($3.80-$3.20-$4) made a late bet but still won almost three times as much as the punter’s friend Icebath ($6-$5.50), in when Yonce ($7.50) was tried very well at the price per side.
