Stormbreaker (9/4), Apple's Of Bresil (11/4), Brave Fortune (11/2), Big Chou (6/1), Disco Dancer (10/1), Soloman Lane (14/1), Palamon (14/1), Run For Harry (16/1), Freemans Bay (20/1), Stuntman Steve (25/1), Heroes Rise (25/1), On The Steel (33/1), Milo Lises (40/1), Desert Cave (50/1)

Verdict

DISCO DANCER ran another fine race when beaten only by a subsequent winner at Gowran 3 weeks ago, so he's the percentage call to go one better. Stuntman Steve and Stormbreaker are a couple of potential threats in an open-looking affair.

  1. DISCO DANCER (IRE)
  2. STUNTMAN STEVE (IRE)
  3. STORMBREAKER
