Last start Brisbane Cup runner up Through Irish Eyes is favourite with Ladbrokes.com.au for the Flemington Cup (2800m) this Saturday at Flemington.

The Maher/Eustace trained stayer hasn’t raced since the Brisbane Cup when a narrow second to Irish Sequel and despite the break between runs, he looks the one to beat, as reflected in betting, where he is $2.70 favourite.

Horrifying is on the second line of betting at $3.10, just ahead of Mimi’s Award at $3.80. They dominate betting, with Sweet Thomas next best at $10.
