This Group 2, $400,000 race features 13 contenders, with Godolphin’s Tom Kitten leading the charge at $3.50 in the latest Hobartville markets at Ladbrokes.
The Spring Champion Stakes winner aims to bounce back from an unplaced effort in his first run this prep.
Partnered by Nash Rawiller from barrier four, he looks set to improve with a lighter weight (56.6kg) on a likely Soft track.
Encap ($6), trained by Gary Portelli, seeks his second turf victory after a narrow defeat in the Golden Rose Stakes.
Fukubana ($6.50), trained by Matthew Dunn, has been well-supported and boasts fitness with two recent runs.
Les Bridge’s Celestial Legend ($8), Michael Freedman’s Ducasse ($9), and Waterhouse/Bott’s Les Vampires ($9.50) are among other contenders to watch.
The race is set for Rosehill Race 8 at 4:35 PM (AEDT) in Sydney on Saturday.
