Forecasts

Sandstorming (3/1), Miles To Memphis (9/2), New Direction (9/2), Breathe Easy (5/1), Zeftan (5/1), Spruce Meadows (13/2), The Last Marju (16/1), Indian Tomahawk (33/1)

Verdict

Jim Bolger's New Direction has been in super form of late, landing two of his last three starts and as a previous C&D winner he must be respected. Breathe Easy also loves it around here, with four wins already, and will be a serious threat to all if his stamina holds out over this longer journey. Zeftan has no such worries having scored over C&D on three previous occasions and while Miles To Memphis may lack Flat experience, he could have a say. SANDSTORMING however is improving as he showed when winning a week ago at Bellewstown over this trip. With the Lyons team operating at close to 25% recently, he is given the nod to take this prize.
  1. Sandstorming
  2. Zeftan
  3. New Direction
