KEY POINTS:
TAB head bookie Paul Lally expects the big money to start coming in today for Saturday's $125,000 Winter Cup.
Lally said despite the book having been open for a lengthy period the TAB has not yet taken any really big money.
Not even after well-fancied northern Pindy was withdrawn at the weekend.
In-form southerner Don't Say Clang is the $5 favourite.
"The most significant money we've had this week has been for Buena Ventura," said Lally.
"We've had to bring him in to $10 from around the $18 early quote.
"He's one horse that's going to handle the very heavy conditions."
Local Riccarton trainers say they cannot recall the track being heavier.
The market: $5 Don't Say Clang, $7 Capecover, $8 Waikeepadacash, $10 Balmuse, Buena Ventura, The Twist, $14 Tiakinui, $16 Jonbalena, Ben Hogan, $21 Benelli, point Guard, Old Belvedere, Bellevue Lass, Jeannot, Olivernotha, $26 Al Farouk, MacO'Reilly, $31 Peyow Peyow, $41 Square Pants, $61 Kaimanawa.
