With I Cast No Shadow scratched out of tonight’s Group 3 Les Chant FFA at Menangle former Tasmanian pacer Izaha has his time to shine.

Bred by the Rattray family, Izaha brings north a strong record of 19 wins and earnings of $207,040.

Having been trained by Todd Rattray for his entire career, Izaha will now race under the care of his trainer-driver brother James Rattray.

The Rattray family have had plenty of success over the years bringing horses to race in New South Wales with the likes of Beautide and Ignatius just to name two.

In the betting market Izaha is one of the outside chances as the Jack Trainor-prepared Stingray Tara firmed into favouritism following I Cast No Shadow’s scratching.

 

The iForm best bets for Saturday:

Race 5: Port Au Prince (10)

Brilliant last start victor with excellent claims once more.
