It is not often a glamour horse draws one in a major sprint race and it actually costs them favouritism but that is the odd position Levante finds herself into heading into the $200,000 Sistema Railway at Ellerslie on Friday.
But at least the punters who back her are used to uncomfortable moments on their way to getting a collect.
Levante has been the hype horse of the summer since a spectacular comeback win at Pukekohe last month when she came from last to exploded past many of Friday s field.
