Luckygray's easy two-length victory at Ascot last Saturday has sent the striking grey to the top of markets for next month's Group I Kingston Town Classic (1800m).
The Gino Poletti-trained galloper resumed in the Group II Lee Steere Stakes (1400m) on Saturday and took his record to 11 wins from 16 starts.
Luckgray is a $3 chance with Sportingbet for the Kingston Town Classic despite the son of Bradbury's Luck finishing fifth in last year's race.
The Trevor Andrews-trained Luke's Luck is on the second line of betting at $5. The Show A Heart colt finished third behind Luckgray last Saturday and will look to continue the good recent record of three-year-olds, who have won three of the last 10 editions of the Group I feature.
Lloyd Williams's Fawkner is a $7 chance following his narrow second to Happy Trails in the Group I Emirates Stakes at Flemington on Saturday.
Antique Bell is a $7.50 while Playing God, who will be aiming to win the event for the third year running, is at $8.
