If there is a value bet in tomorrow night's $1 million Karaka Million - and there usually is - it's sole South Island runner What Choux Want.
The TAB's final field betting includes The Soultaker at $12 and Sacred Elixir on $9.50. The pair finished second and first respectively at Ellerslie last start and you can make a strong case that What Choux Want, a close up third, could have beaten them both with a better passage up the home straight.
What Choux Want is at $23 and comes from a near-perfect No 5 barrier.
The southern filly was in that last race simply to give her a run around Ellerslie as a sighter and to see how she handled her first trip right-handed.
She handled it beautifully.
