Forecasts

Light In The Sky (2/1), Bright Eyed Eagle (9/4), Clemento (4/1), Dante's View (13/2), Fraser Island (9/1), Peruvien Bleu (50/1)

BRIGHT EYED EAGLE was a fairly useful winner on the level and appears ready to open his account in this sphere after showing promise on both runs for Olly Murphy. He looks on a good mark now handicapping. Light In The Sky is feared most on the back of his good C&D second, with Fraser Island not ruled out either if the fitting of cheekpieces has the desired effect.
