Essendon won’t be the only ones ‘striving for glory and fame’ tonight.
But will Brisbane be ‘tamed’ by today’s AFL/Greys offer from TAB?
The betting giant anticipates Bombers’ supporters will ‘blitz’ a $5.00 quote for Essendon to lose by 24pts or less (or even win) against the Lions and two-time G1 finalist Equalizer notching his fifth win from nine starts over 525m at The Meadows.
The Bombers – who went down to the Sydney Swans by 3pts last week – are 12th on the AFL ladder with one win from four games, while the Lions – who went down by 19pts to the Western Bulldogs – are 16th, also with only one win.
Meanwhile, the Jason Thompson-trained Equalizer is TAB’s $2.00 favourite in a Mixed 3/4.
A powerhouse sprinter armed with a paralysing finishing burst, Equalizer has won 14 races from 35 starts.
He’s a dual G1 finalist (Silver Chief and Temlee) and runner-up in both the G2 Warragul Cup and G2 Cranbourne Cup. He was also a G3 Great Chase finalist last year.
And at his most recent start, Equalizer was only ‘inches’ off Ballarat’s 545m track record posting a scintillating 30.34sec.
The Brisbane Lions v Essendon clash commences at the Gabba at 7.25pm, while Equalizer is in Race 8 Box 4 at 9.05pm.
