Eagles and Kismet ‘flying high’?

‘Feathers will fly’ as the Eagles and Magpies ‘swoop’ each other in a do-or-die Round 5 encounter in Perth tonight.

And West Coast fans will have an ‘eagle eye’ on a special AFL/GREYS offer.

TAB has put up a $3.50 quote on West Coast Eagles ‘ruffling’ Collingwood and Kuro Kismet winning a Group 2 Geelong Gold Cup heat (520m).

The Eagles – shock 20pts losers to the Saints last week – are seventh on the AFL ladder with two wins from four games, while the Magpies – who went down by 30pts to the Giants on the same day – are 14th with a solitary win.

Meanwhile, the Matt Clark-trained Kuro Kismet is TAB’s $2.40 favourite in Heat 5 of the Cup.

He’s won eight races from 21 starts, including four of his past five, and rocketed into stardom taking out a $150,000 first prize in the G3 Launching Pad (515m) at Sandown Park on April 1.

Bounce down for the West Coast Eagles v Collingwood clash at Optus Stadium is 8.10pm, while Kuro Kismet is in Race 8 Box 8 at 9.27pm.
