  • Hutch To Assume the Helm at Inglis

    Friday, 9th October 2026
    Sebastian Hutch will become Managing Director of Inglis from January 4, 2027, completing a long-planned leadership transition at one of Australia’s most influential bloodstock businesses and succeeding Mark Webster after almost two decades at the helm. Hutch joined Inglis from Coolmore in November 2018 and has progressed rapidly through the organisation, serving initially as General Manager – Bloodstock Sales, then General Manager – Bloodstock Sales & Marketing before becoming Bloodstock CEO in 2021. Webster will remain with the company on a part-time basis as Executive Director on special projects until July 2027, when he will have completed 20 years of service, before continuing as Chair of Ardex Technology and Inglis’ US digital and other projects, as well as joining the Inglis Board as a Non-Executive Director. Hutch described the appointment as a privilege and paid tribute to the company’s long history, its people and Webster’s influence, while making clear that the strength of Inglis’ existing team would be central to the next phase of the business. His elevation is the culmination of a succession strategy that began when he was recruited eight years ago, with Inglis Chair John Coates noting that Webster had progressively stepped away from day-to-day responsibility for the bloodstock division as Hutch assumed greater leadership. Webster became the first person outside the Inglis family to lead the company when appointed Managing Director in 2007, ending 140 years of family-only leadership, and his tenure has included the relocation to Riverside Stables, development of the William Inglis Hotel and major expansion of the group’s digital auction footprint. Deputy Chair and fifth-generation family member Arthur Inglis credited Webster with pioneering innovations subsequently adopted more broadly across the industry and backed Hutch’s combination of work ethic, integrity and detailed bloodstock knowledge to lead the business forward. Hutch’s own period at Inglis has coincided with substantial growth in both traditional auction activity and digital trading, while his standing among breeders, vendors and buyers has been built through an increasingly visible role across the company’s major sales. The handover therefore represents continuity as much as change, with Webster remaining available through the transitional period and Hutch assuming control of a business the Board says is in strong health heading into 2027. For Inglis, the appointment also formally recognises what has effectively been an eight-year grooming process, taking Hutch from a senior bloodstock sales role to responsibility for the wider group.

  • Harron Holds the Final Everest Key

    Friday, 9th October 2026
    James Harron is the last slot-holder standing between the $20 million Gr1 The Everest and a completed field after Jimmysstar was secured by TAB and former winner Giga Kick was confirmed for Coolmore, leaving Harron with the luxury — and pressure — of making the final call ahead of declarations for the 1200m showpiece at Randwick on October 17. According to racenet.com.au, Harron is prepared to wait if necessary before committing, a familiar approach for a slot-holder whose record in the race already includes two winners, Redzel in 2017 and Giga Kick in 2022. The field has taken shape rapidly over the past week, with defending champion Ka Ying Rising representing the Hong Kong Jockey Club, Tempted locked in for Godolphin, Jimmysstar returning for TAB, Joliestar selected by Chris Waller Racing, Giga Kick joining Coolmore, and Ninja, Headwall, Blue Door, Spicy Martini and Savvy Hallie already secured in their respective slots. Yulong is also expected to confirm Angel Capital, effectively leaving Harron with the final piece of the puzzle. Harron’s decision is especially intriguing because several talented sprinters remain outside the field, including horses with recent Gr1 form and others whose commercial upside could be significant if they gain a place in racing’s richest sprint. Market interest has extended to Warwoven, The Next Episode, St Gotthard and Extragalactic among the remaining possibles, although no deal has yet been announced and Harron has historically shown a willingness to wait until the latest possible point rather than force an early commitment. His 2022 selection of Giga Kick proved a masterstroke when the then-unbeaten three-year-old defeated Private Eye and Mazu, while Redzel’s victory in the inaugural running established Harron immediately as one of the defining slot-holders in the race’s short history. The current edition presents a different challenge because Ka Ying Rising towers over the market after last year’s dominant victory, while Tempted has emerged as the principal local threat following an unbeaten 2026 campaign. With final declarations due on October 13, Harron retains both maximum flexibility and maximum attention, and whichever horse receives the last invitation will complete a field that combines the reigning champion, previous Everest winners, elite mares, emerging three-year-olds and established Gr1 sprinters.

  • Gold Coast HIT Sale Set To Fire

    Friday, 9th October 2026
    The scene is set for Monday’s Magic Millions Gold Coast Horses in Training Sale following three strong breeze-up sessions across the Gold Coast and Scone, with a catalogue boasting youngsters by 77 individual sires and an increasingly sophisticated level of performance data available to prospective buyers. The auction, scheduled to begin at 3.30pm Queensland time, has been preceded by breeze-ups on September 22, September 30 and October 8, giving buyers the opportunity to assess not only raw times but also stride length, frequency and speed through Magic Millions’ TripleS chip technology. The first Gold Coast session produced the fastest breeze of the series, with the Showtime colt out of Mileyva stopping the clock at 10.00 seconds for 200m, ahead of a Kingman colt out of French Dispatch in 10.11 and a Russian Revolution colt out of Don’ttelltheboss in 10.30. Other notable performances came from youngsters by Castelvecchio, Wild Ruler, Stronger, Capitalist, Admire Mars and Earthlight, while the Polytrack segment also produced competitive times headed by a Better Than Ready colt out of Ambar in 10.39. At Scone, 33 youngsters breezed across grass and synthetic surfaces, with a Capitalist colt out of Madeira Bay fastest in 10.65, ahead of representatives by Stronger, Starspangledbanner, Written By, All Too Hard, St Mark’s Basilica, Exceedance and Better Than Ready. The final Gold Coast session on Thursday featured 18 lots, with a Trapeze Artist colt out of Counterplay recording 10.32 on the grass and a Supido filly out of All In A Row stopping the clock at 10.38, while the quickest Polytrack performance came from a Stronger colt out of The Darling in 10.51. Magic Millions Managing Director Barry Bowditch said the breeze-up performances had been matched by strong pedigrees and athletic types, while emphasising the depth of information available to buyers through the online catalogue. For the first time, eligible two-year-olds purchased at the sale can also be paid up for the Magic Millions Race Series, adding another incentive to a catalogue in which 74 lots are already nominated. Inspections begin at the Gold Coast Sales Complex from Saturday, with seven supplementary lots taking the catalogue to Lot 160 and ensuring Monday’s sale arrives with both depth and momentum across a broad cross-section of sires and vendors.

  • Racing Funding Model Under Fire

    Friday, 9th October 2026
    Britain’s racing funding model has come under renewed scrutiny after DragonBet co-founder James Lovell warned that turnover-based media rights agreements are making some of the sport’s most loyal and engaged punters commercially unattractive to bookmakers, creating what he described as a “death spiral” for the industry. Speaking to Racing Post, Lovell argued that the current system increasingly penalises customers who bet frequently and responsibly over long periods, because media rights charges are calculated as a percentage of turnover rather than bookmaker profit. That means a customer can lose money overall and still become expensive for an operator to service if they recycle winnings through a large number of bets, with Lovell pointing out that the bookmaker can effectively lose economically even when the punter does not win. The shift towards fixed percentage turnover agreements was designed in part to prevent major betting companies from using racing as a low-margin acquisition tool before steering customers towards other products, while also protecting racecourses from operators suppressing reported profitability through concessions such as extra places. Lovell acknowledged that concern, but believes the pendulum has now swung too far in the opposite direction, leaving racing with a structure that discourages exactly the type of repeat engagement on which the sport depends. He said the most committed fans can become the least desirable customers because they generate substantial turnover while losing relatively little over time, creating an economic disincentive for bookmakers to retain or encourage their business. DragonBet, which operates both online and on-course and is sponsoring a three-day meeting at Chepstow this week, has seen the issue from both sides of the relationship between racing and wagering. Lovell stressed that he does not claim to have a simple replacement model and accepts the danger that moving away from turnover-based charging could again encourage operators to minimise margins or use racing principally as a gateway to other betting products. His central argument, however, is that the existing structure has reached a point where its unintended consequences are becoming difficult to ignore. For an industry heavily dependent on betting-related income, the tension is obvious: racecourses need reliable media-rights revenue, bookmakers need commercially viable customers, and racing itself needs committed punters to remain active. Lovell’s intervention therefore adds another significant voice to the wider debate over how British racing funds itself, and whether a system designed to secure the sport’s income is instead beginning to erode the customer base from which much of that income ultimately comes.

  • Injury Cruels Gr1 Winner's Career

    Friday, 9th October 2026
    Last year’s Gr1 Toorak Handicap winner Transatlantic is facing up to a year away from racing after a freak trackwork accident at Randwick proved considerably more serious than first thought, with subsequent scans revealing injuries requiring surgery to both hocks and a hind fetlock. The Tony Gollan-trained gelding slipped on bitumen before entering the track last month after apparently shying at something, and although the initial assessment centred on abrasions and bruising, further examinations uncovered damage that has turned what appeared a short-term spring setback into a lengthy rehabilitation. According to punters.com.au, the five-year-old has now undergone surgery and will require an extended spell before any return to training can be contemplated. Gollan initially reported that Transatlantic had taken skin from his hind legs and was bruised and battered but remained hopeful the injuries were largely superficial, with the horse ruled out of immediate spring targets while connections waited for wounds to settle. The later diagnosis represents a significant blow for a gelding who had established himself among the country’s leading middle-distance performers, highlighted by his 2025 Toorak Handicap success at Caulfield. That victory also gave Gollan successive wins in the race after Antino had scored 12 months earlier, underlining the stable’s strength in elite mile contests. Transatlantic had been building towards another spring campaign after returning in the Gr2 Tramway Stakes at Randwick, with Gollan having identified races such as the Gr2 Hill Stakes and a possible defence of the Toorak as options before the mishap. His absence removes a proven Gr1 performer from the remainder of the spring and delays any opportunity to add to a record that had steadily improved after he matured into a genuine top-level horse. The nature of the accident also underscores how quickly circumstances can change outside race day itself, with a momentary loss of footing on a hard surface producing consequences far greater than were immediately apparent. The priority now is a complete recovery rather than any accelerated return, and given the expected rehabilitation period, connections are unlikely to see Transatlantic back in competitive action until well into 2027. For Gollan, whose stable has become an increasingly strong presence at major interstate carnivals, the task is simply to give the gelding the time required to heal fully before assessing whether another elite campaign is realistic.

  • Gr1 Might And Power Stakes Preview

    Friday, 9th October 2026
    A compact field of six promises no shortage of intrigue in Saturday’s $1 million Gr1 Might And Power over 2000m at Caulfield, where Sheza Alibi faces her first test beyond 1600m and meets a proven middle-distance performer in Birdman, while Treasurethe Moment adds another layer of quality to a race that could have implications extending deep into the spring. Sheza Alibi has rapidly established herself among the country’s elite, following her first-up second to Autumn Glow in the Gr1 Winx Stakes with a dominant victory in the Gr1 Makybe Diva Stakes at Flemington, and co-trainer Peter Moody has deliberately used this race to answer the distance question before the mare drops sharply back to 1500m for the Golden Eagle. According to racing.com, Moody believes the 2000m assignment will provide valuable information for future campaigns, particularly with races such as the Australian Cup potentially on the agenda. Sheza Alibi has drawn the outside gate in six and carries 56kg under weight-for-age conditions, with Luke Nolen retaining the ride. Her principal danger appears to be Birdman, whose claims received a substantial boost when the horse he defeated decisively in the Gr1 Underwood Stakes, Cosmic Crusader, subsequently won the Gr1 Turnbull Stakes. Birdman (see below) draws barrier two for Ben Melham and Chris Waller, and connections have made no secret of their belief that the five-year-old is capable of testing the favourite before heading towards the Cox Plate. Treasurethe Moment brings her own elite credentials, having already won four Gr1 races and finishing runner-up to Pride Of Jenni in the Gr2 Feehan Stakes at her latest appearance, while last year she demonstrated her ability over this course and distance when second in the Might And Power before subsequently producing a strong Cox Plate performance. She carries 57kg from barrier three for Daniel Stackhouse. Kingswood, Torranzino and Land Legend complete the field, with Kingswood arriving off a solid campaign and Land Legend seeking to rediscover his better staying form. The tactical shape is likely to be critical in such a small field, particularly if Sheza Alibi is allowed to settle comfortably near the speed, while Birdman’s established ability at 1800m and beyond ensures this is far from a ceremonial progression for the favourite. The market has understandably centred on the pair, but with Treasurethe Moment possessing proven 2000m quality, Saturday’s contest shapes as a genuine examination of whether Sheza Alibi can extend her brilliance into middle-distance territory.

  • Gr1 Toorak Handicap Preview

    Friday, 9th October 2026
    Saturday’s $1 million Gr1 Toorak Handicap over 1600m shapes as the most open of Caulfield’s three elite races, with 15 runners bringing contrasting form lines into a genuine handicap puzzle headed by Evaporate and Lady Shenandoah at 58kg. Evaporate draws ideally in barrier two for Blake Shinn and returns to his preferred distance after finishing ninth in the Gr1 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes over 1400m, having previously produced an excellent performance to win over 1500m at Sandown. The Ben, Will and JD Hayes-trained gelding looks considerably better suited back to the mile and his inside draw should allow Shinn to secure the economical position that proved difficult to obtain last start. Lady Shenandoah shares top weight and starts from barrier nine for James McDonald, with the Chris Waller mare bringing an exceptional overall Gr1 record despite finishing fourth in each of her two starts this preparation. Her ability at 1600m is unquestioned, but conceding weight to a collection of progressive rivals makes this a demanding assignment. Warnie is attractively drawn in barrier one for Mark Zahra and Ciaron Maher with 57kg, while Feroce faces the opposite problem from barrier 15 under 56.5kg. Regal Award occupies an appealing middle ground with 55kg and barrier four for Lachlan Neindorf after finishing third first-up in the Sir Rupert Clarke, and his profile has seen him attract strong early market interest. Sabaj is another major contender despite barrier 10, with Ethan Brown riding for Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr, while Changing Colours arrives in peak form after putting together four consecutive victories and receives just 52kg from barrier eight. That significant weight advantage makes her one of the more intriguing runners stepping into Gr1 company. Panova, Sun God and Lady Shenandoah give Waller a strong hand as he seeks a first victory in a race that has so far eluded him, while Salty Pearl receives 52kg for Craig Williams and draws favourably in seven. Pondalowie has barrier three and the same light weight, with Rachel King aboard, while Too Darn Discreet, Hellsing, Von Hauke and Welcometotheshow complete a field in which the spread between top and bottom weights is six kilograms. According to racing.com, the Toorak has developed into one of the deepest and most competitive races on the opening day of the Caulfield Cup Carnival, and the final field reinforces that assessment. Unlike the Might And Power and Caulfield Guineas, there is no obvious dominant force here, leaving race shape, barrier position and weight likely to play decisive roles in determining the outcome. 

  • Gr1 Caulfield Guineas Preview

    Friday, 9th October 2026
    Golden Rose winner Warwoven brings the strongest recent form into Saturday’s $3 million Gr1 Caulfield Guineas over 1600m, but the unbeaten-in-spring Blind Raise and four-pronged Chris Waller challenge ensure the classic is anything but straightforward. Warwoven has emerged as one of the standout three-year-olds of the season for Bjorn Baker, winning the Gr2 Run To The Rose before dismantling his opposition in the Gr1 Golden Rose, and he now attempts to carry that Sydney form to Caulfield while stretching to 1600m for the first time. Rachel King again takes the ride from barrier six, and his pedigree and racing style suggest the additional 200m should be within reach. According to racing.com, Warwoven has won five of eight starts and has already demonstrated the acceleration that makes him the benchmark runner in the race. Blind Raise provides the most obvious Victorian resistance after winning four of his five career starts, including dominant victories in the Listed McKenzie Stakes and Gr3 Caulfield Guineas Prelude this preparation. Trainer Trent Busuttin has revealed the colt heads into Saturday in the best physical condition of his career after dealing with minor issues through earlier campaigns, and barrier two gives Blake Shinn every opportunity to secure an economical run. Waller attacks the race with Tron Bolt, Diameter, Central Europe and Somethings Burnin’, with Tron Bolt (see below) particularly interesting as an already proven Gr1 performer at the distance following his juvenile victory in the Gr1 J.J. Atkins. His barrier 11 draw presents Craig Williams with a tactical challenge, but the colt has the established 1600m credentials to make his presence felt. Diameter starts from nine, Central Europe from seven and Somethings Burnin’ from three, giving Waller several different avenues into a race that has historically carried major stallion-making significance. The Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained Wolf Gap and unbeaten Call Me Coach add further depth, with Mark Zahra taking the mount on the latter from barrier five after two wins from as many starts, while Tornado Valley, Seraphox and Unit Five complete the 11-horse field. Early markets have Warwoven clearly on top ahead of Blind Raise, with Tron Bolt the only other runner prominent in single figures, accurately reflecting a race that appears to hinge on whether Warwoven can reproduce his Golden Rose authority at the mile or whether Blind Raise’s Caulfield experience and perfect spring preparation can bridge the gap.

  • Gr2 Herbert Power Stakes Preview

    Friday, 9th October 2026
    The $400,000 Gr2 Herbert Power Stakes over 2400m at Caulfield shapes as an important last-chance spring staying test, with several runners still trying to strengthen their position for the Caulfield and Melbourne Cups while others use the race as a conditioning run deeper into the carnival. The 15-horse field has no obvious standout, although Future History has been installed among the leading chances after a pair of solid recent performances and draws ideally in barrier three for Ben Melham. The Gregory Hickman-trained gelding carries 57kg and has enough tactical versatility to take advantage of a race that could become genuinely searching if the expected pressure materialises. According to racing.com, Zakouma is another major player and brings the added security of already holding a Melbourne Cup golden ticket, allowing trainer Grahame Begg to use Saturday as an important 2400m stepping stone rather than a desperation exercise. William Pike rides from barrier nine. Soulcombe faces a more urgent assignment from the outside gate, with the Chris Waller-trained stayer needing to qualify for the Caulfield Cup and likely requiring at least a placing to keep that path open. He carries 56kg for Craig Williams and remains capable of producing a powerful finish if the race is run strongly. The 2024 Melbourne Cup winner Knight's Choice is another headline runner, returning to 2400m from barrier one for Blake Shinn and carrying 56kg, while Campaldino and Onesmoothoperator share top weight of 58kg and must overcome wide barriers in 13 and 12 respectively. Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott will be hoping Campaldino can rediscover the form that made him a genuine staying prospect earlier in the year, while Onesmoothoperator has the services of Mark Zahra. The race's strategic significance comes from its position immediately before the Caulfield Cup, with the winner exempt from the ballot and those still outside the field desperate to improve their standing. Shockletz, Pinhole and several lightly weighted runners add depth, while the new set-weights-and-penalties conditions introduced this season slightly alter the traditional complexion of the race. In such an even field, barrier position and race shape may prove every bit as important as raw staying ability, but Future History, Zakouma, Soulcombe and Knight's Choice appear to bring the strongest mix of current form, proven stamina and spring relevance into one of the day's more tactically intriguing contests.

  • Gr2 Schillaci Stakes Preview

    Friday, 9th October 2026
    A high-quality chort of established sprinters and emerging speed horses makes the $300,000 Gr2 Schillaci Stakes over 1100m one of the most interesting support races on Caulfield Guineas Day, with dual Group 1 winning cult hero Jigsaw resuming against a field containing Rey Magnerio, Flying For Fun, Grand Larceny and Streisand. Jigsaw has been deliberately kept fresh for this assignment after trainer Cindy Alderson elected to bypass the Gr1 Manikato Stakes, believing the extra fortnight would better suit the eight-year-old, and the decision leaves him ideally positioned to launch another spring campaign over a course and distance that should allow him to use his natural speed. According to racing.com, Jigsaw impressed in a Cranbourne jump-out leading into the race, with regular rider Logan Bates reporting that the gelding travelled strongly and quickened in the manner expected from a horse who has built an imposing record over the past 12 months. He draws barrier one and carries 58.5kg under weight-for-age conditions, while Rey Magnerio begins from barrier three with William Pike aboard for Robbie Griffiths. Rey Magnerio has an excellent Caulfield record, with two wins and two placings from five appearances at the track, and his combination of tactical speed and proven Group form makes him a serious threat first-up. Flying For Fun draws four for James McDonald and has continued to progress through the sprinting ranks, while Grand Larceny starts from five for Ben Melham and Streisand from eight. Desert Lightning and several others provide further depth to a race that, despite its relatively short distance, could be decided by which runner secures the cleanest passage in the first 300m. The Schillaci has a history of producing elite sprinters, with winners including Miss Andretti, Black Caviar, Asfoora and last year Giga Kick, who used the race to relaunch a campaign that later included victory in the Champions Sprint at Flemington. Saturday's edition may not yet contain a sprinter of that established international stature, but Jigsaw's proven Gr1 credentials and the presence of several upwardly mobile rivals give it significant relevance ahead of the major sprint races later in the spring. If Jigsaw returns at his best, he sets the standard, but this is far from a soft re-entry.

  • Gr2 Roman Consul Stakes Preview

    Friday, 9th October 2026
    Paradoxium takes another significant step towards the Gr1 Coolmore Stud Stakes when he returns to Sydney for the $300,000 Gr2 Roman Consul Stakes over 1200m at Rosehill, where a capacity field of three-year-olds provides a strong examination of his sprinting credentials. The Bjorn Baker-trained colt has not raced since producing a decisive victory in the Gr3 Poseidon Stakes at Flemington last month, a performance that confirmed his development from promising juvenile into genuine spring sprint contender. Baker has long identified the Roman Consul as the logical bridge to the Coolmore, and Paradoxium draws ideally in barrier two for Jason Collett, allowing him the opportunity to settle close to the speed without being exposed early. Satono Glow presents the most obvious alternative after winning the Listed Cap D'Antibes Stakes at Flemington and now returns to Sydney for John O'Shea and Tom Charlton, with Zac Lloyd aboard from barrier 10. The filly receives 2kg from the colts and geldings under the set-weights conditions and arrives with the confidence of a last-start victory, making her particularly interesting if the Rosehill track rewards horses able to sustain speed. The Machine Gun resumes unbeaten from two starts for Peter Snowden but must overcome barrier 14, while Castillo King starts from 12 and Half Pipe from 13, creating an obvious tactical challenge for several of the better credentialled runners. Blessed Eagle is better served from barrier four for Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott, and Steel Will draws the inside for Chris Waller, while Phillip Island has barrier three and arrives with consistent form. Why So Hard resumes for the Hawkes partnership, Barracks comes off a victory for Ciaron Maher, and Peyton also arrives as a last-start winner, giving the race greater depth than the headline pair alone might suggest. The Roman Consul has traditionally acted as an important pointer to the Coolmore, and this year's edition again carries that significance, particularly for Paradoxium, whose Flemington performance suggests he may be ideally suited to the straight 1200m on Derby Day. A clean win would reinforce his position among the leading three-year-old sprinters, but Satono Glow's speed and the presence of several unbeaten or lightly raced rivals ensure he will have to earn it.

  • Gr2 Hill Stakes Preview

    Friday, 9th October 2026
    The $2 million Gr2 Hill Stakes over 1900m at Rosehill has assembled a compact but accomplished field headed by defending champion Lindermann, who returns to Sydney after a disappointing effort in the Gr1 Underwood Stakes and seeks to rediscover the form that carried him to victory in this race 12 months ago. Chris Waller again holds a powerful hand, saddling Lindermann alongside Militarize and Kovalica, with all three capable of producing their best performances around this distance range. Nash Rawiller retains the ride on Lindermann from barrier eight, while Militarize draws the inside for Zac Lloyd and Kovalica starts from seven for Tommy Berry. According to racing.com, Waller's trio is joined by the 2024 Hill Stakes winner Attrition, who returns to Rosehill for Mitch Freedman with Jamie Mott aboard from barrier three, giving the race two previous winners and a strong layer of proven form. Lindermann's Underwood failure can be forgiven if he simply failed to handle the tempo or circumstances of the race, and his return to Sydney at a track where he has performed consistently looks significant. Attrition brings his own strong middle-distance credentials and has shown repeatedly that he is capable of measuring up against high-class opposition when allowed to find rhythm. Eliyass carries 59kg for Ciaron Maher and Tim Clark from barrier four and remains one of the more intriguing runners, having shown high-level staying ability before a campaign interrupted by mixed results. Zambardo has been directed to the Hill Stakes rather than the Gr1 Might And Power at Caulfield, suggesting Mick Price and Michael Kent Jnr see the 1900m contest as the more suitable option at this stage of his preparation. King Pedro is slated to resume following an earlier setback, while the field also contains several seasoned campaigners capable of producing a sharp improvement. The tactical balance should favour runners able to settle within striking distance, especially if the race becomes steadily run before developing into a sprint from the 600m. Lindermann's established Rosehill credentials and previous success in the race make him the natural reference point, but Militarize, Attrition and Zambardo all possess the class to capitalise if the favourite remains below his best.
