Forecasts

Fire In His Eyes (13/8), Matin D'anjou (2/1), Round Tower (5/1), Danali (6/1), Ned's Island (16/1), Kalamkan (16/1), October Revolution (25/1), Taggle Og (33/1), Robins Spirit (33/1), Redwood Castle (40/1)

In a contest that wont take a lot of winning FIRE IN HIS EYES should take a good deal of catching here under Rachael Blackmore. The gelding by Stowaway is a six-race chase veteran and his experience should prevail over some weak looking rivals here in first-time visor. The Karl Thornton-trained Round Tower is another with plenty of chasing experience to put to good use hitting the frame here with Danali worth a market check on return to the track in first-time blinkers.
