Freedom Rally holds the call with Ladbrokes.com.au for The Gateway (1400m) this Saturday at Eagle Farm.
The race carries significant importance given the winner gets ballot exemption into The Stradbroke, or they could use it as a slot and negotiate to get another runner in the race. The market says Tony Gollan will get it via Freedom Rally, who is the $3.10 favourite.
Midnight In Tokyo sits on the second line of betting at $6.50, clear of Ekaterina at $9.50. John Rambo has been well specked at odds early, into $10 from $17.
