Forecasts

Realism (10/11), Rare Middleton (10/3), Zaniyka (5/1), Fawkner Park (7/1), Imaginarium (12/1), Ninja (16/1), John Alexander (28/1), Mighty Mo Missouri (40/1), Most Wanted (100/1), Muhtady (250/1)

REALISM exceeded expectations when third pitched into the Group 3 Royal Whip Stakes at the Curragh when last seen in August and a repeat of that level will see him very hard to beat back in maiden company. Rare Middleton's debut was full of promise and he's the obvious threat.
