Late Mail Contenders
No. 9 Tempted
The standout filly and current favourite after an impressive win in the Group 2 Run To The Rose (1200m), the key form reference for this race. She gets a weight allowance against the colts, which is a significant factor. The main question is the step up to , but her closing speed suggests she should handle it.

9. Tempted (8)
J: Ethan Brown 54.5kg
T: Ciaron Maher |
No. 7 Autumn Boy
A lightly raced colt from the powerful Chris Waller stable. His recent second in the Ming Dynasty Quality (1400m) was excellent, as he closed strongly against the pattern of the day. The extra fitness and likely stronger tempo here should play to his advantage, making him a major contender. Many tipsters are putting him forward as the best value or to challenge the favourite.

7. Autumn Boy (7)
J: Jason Collett 56.5kg
T: Chris Waller |
No. 4 Wodeton
Another Chris Waller runner who was unlucky in the Run To The Rose, finishing fourth after being wide. He draws the inside barrier (Gate 1) today and regains James McDonald, which is a major positive. The trip is expected to be an improvement for him.

2nd
4. Wodeton (1)
J: James McDonald 56.5kg
T: Chris Waller |
No. 3 Skyhook
Finished third in the Run To The Rose. He is a multiple Rosehill winner who is now looking for the 1400m distance. If he gets a clean run from midfield, he is capable of finishing over the top.

4th
3. Skyhook (5)
J: Kerrin McEvoy 56.5kg
T: Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou |
Top Tips
- Best Bet: Tempted – is the most consistent and highest-rating runner from the key lead-up.
- Value Play: Wodeton – is set to improve up to 1400m, especially after a strong-finishing fourth in the Run To The Rose despite an unfavorable wide run.
- Each-Way Tip / Value: Nepotism – is a Group 1 winner flying under the radar and a noted improver up to 1400m.
- Roughie for Exotics: State Visit – is the rank outsider but potentially underrated stepping up to his preferred trip of 1400m, a distance over which he was Group 1-placed last preparation.
