Odds shorten on good-ground Derby Odds on a good-ground Investec Derby have shortened after the latest update from Epsom. Last week the ground ahead of Saturday's Classic was soft, but clerk of the course Andrew Cooper tweeted: "Going at Epsom Racecourse now Good to Soft, Good in places. Bits and pieces of rain possible most days from Monday onwards. Cooler." This caused bookmakers Paddy Power to make officially good ground the 11-8 favourite (from 13-8), while the odds of good to soft was eased to 13-8 from 11-8. Aidan O'Brien's Australia is the hot favourite at this stage and Paddy Power said: "Aidan will be grinning like a Tipperary cat after the latest going report from Epsom, which looks absolutely perfect for Derby good thing Australia."
