Morton is chasing a hat-trick when he takes his place in tonight’s Group 1 Silver Chief Final, and I think that he will pull it off.
The son of Tommy Shelby has been nothing short of outstanding since debuting, winning nine of fourteen career starts, placing a further four times and finding form around some of the brightest chasers in the country.
He was far too good in his heat here last week, and he won his only other start from Box 5.
Eyes To Eyes doesn’t know how to run a bad race and can win tonight’s Christmas Gift Final at Wentworth Park.
The son of Orson Allen has won five of his last eight starts, placing on every other occasion and breaking the clock over this route several times.
He’s a winner from Box 8 previously and I think that he has a lot of these covered for class.
Another edition of the extremely lucrative Phoenix headlines tonight’s program at The Meadows, and with a case to be made for all of them, I am going to take the huge odds on offer for Schillaci ($26 at publish).
He was almost immediately checked out of his last run here which I am happy to put a line through, but his form throughout October was outstanding, and he reeled off some fast times in the process.
He’s a multiple winner from Box 5 and we can have an each way play at the price.
Sit And Steer has drawn ideally into the penultimate at The Meadows tonight and will take plenty of beating.
The son of Fernando Bale hasn’t missed placing at twelve career appearances so far, winning three times and improving with experience.
This is one of the tougher tasks that he has been set, but he should get every chance.
