The 2024 Tancred Stakes, one of Sydney’s premier autumn features, takes centre stage at Rosehill this Saturday with a field of ten ready to battle it out for the $1.5 million purse.

Leading the charge is the impressive UK-trained Post Impressionist.
William Haggas‘ Teofilo gelding wasted no time making his mark down under, cruising to a dominant victory in the Group 3 N.E. Manion Cup last weekend over the same 2400m distance.
Returning to familiar territory with jockey Tom Marquand aboard, Post Impressionist is the clear favourite at $2.35 through Ladbrokes and firming further.
Despite the small Tancred Stakes field, several horses pose a threat to the favourite.
Chris Waller saddles two runners with the imported Buckaroo ($4.80) and More Felons ($11) in his bid at a third Tancred Stakes victory.
Buckaroo, coming off a close third in the Group 1 Ranvet Stakes here last weekend, steps up in distance but remains a danger.
More Felons, a dour stayer with a Melbourne Cup run under his belt, is a value pick at $11 after his recent win in the Listed Parramatta Cup.
Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott‘s Military Mission ($9) and Godolphin‘s Group 1 winning youngster Tom Kitten ($6.50) are other contenders worth watching.
Military Mission, another Melbourne Cup performer, should improve over the longer distance.
Tom Kitten, the lone three-year-old in the field, is seeking a return to form after a string of placings.
With a weight drop and a talented jockey in Jamie Kah, he shouldn’t be discounted.
The Tancred Stakes is set for race eight at Rosehill on Saturday (4:35 PM AEST).
