Spring Champion Stakes Betting Odds

Swiftfalcon is a $2.80 favourite to win the 2024 Spring Champion Stakes.

Henlein ($4.20) also spotted them a start in the Gloaming Stakes before making inroads late and the step to 2000m looks perfect for the son of Dundeel.

El Castello ($4.40) completed a spring hat-trick last start when taking out the Gloaming Stakes and while he admittedly had a kinder draw than the two market elects in that 1800m feature, he appears to have better tactical speed than both Swiftfalcon and El Castello.
