Ah if only it had closed at the m/l. Gotta come up with an even money winner now.

Odds of perhaps 40% of winning this factoring in that closing line is a guessing game.

Your odds of winning the Challenge are more like 80% if you pick correctly.

Correct. I miscalculated. I was thinking I needed about an even money winner. I instead need 2.3.

Nope, the amount you need returned is 80-78.30 = 1.70, so any $2 bet that wins, will win the Challenge no matter what the odds are. Take a 1/9 shot in a short field.
