The countdown to Australia’s second richest horse race is on, and below punters can find our exclusive Races.com.au two-word Golden Eagle 2024 form guide.
There’s a lucrative $10 million in prize money up for grabs as well as the honour of winning the four-year-old’s feature in Sydney at Rosehill Gardens ahead of Saturday afternoon’s 2024 Melbourne Cup field and barrier draw release after the Derby Day racing at Flemington.
The Japanese raider Ascoli Piceno may have drawn out in gate 17 for the ‘Magic Man’ Joao Moreira but remains the firm favourite in the Golden Eagle odds online at $4 through Ladbrokes.com.au to overcome the alley and go back-to-back for Japan.
We’ve got a host of other in-form four-year-olds vying for the big prize including Chris Waller‘s Group 1 winning mare Joliestar and the undefeated French galloper Lazzat.
Punters are also coming for another consistent Territories gelding with Craig coming off a Toorak Handicap second.
To help racing fans separate the genuine Golden Eagle contenders from the potential pretenders in the rich showdown, below is our succinct summery of each horse’s winning (or losing!) chances.

Race comments
ASCOLI PICENO (19) Japanese trained mare who brings impeccable ratings here. First run back she defeated a strong lineup when taking out the G3 Keisei Hai Autumn Handicap at Nakayama over 1600m on September 8. Expecting Moreira to weave his magic from the sticky barrier and figure prominently. JOLIESTAR (16) drifted back early before savaging the line late when seventh in the G1 The Everest at Randwick over 1200m on October 19. Ready for the 1500m now and is a genuine top-three prospect. LAZZAT (12) French gelding by Territories undefeated in six starts. Has a smart record over this trip and maps to get the right run after scoring a 3 len victory in the G1 MRC De Cheest over 1300m at Deauville on August 4. Has settled in well by all reports and can keep his unbeaten record intact. STEFI MAGNETICA (15) won the Stradbroke Hcp last prep and has looked sharp in two runs back. Failed to sprint with them when ninth over 1200m in the G1 The Everest at Randwick last time out. Each-way.
