Of those nominated, only three of them have saluted so the big carrot is there to take the 1200m feature. They comprise a couple of Tulloch Lodgers Butch Cassidy and Critique plus Shesallshenanigans has two victories.

The VOBIS Sires Guineas (1600m) has a good mix of the boys and girls entered. Kings Consort won the Showdown on this very day last year and other horses with good form are Bel Air and Russian Dancer.

The black type race on the card is the Listed Galilee Series Final (2400m) for the 3yos on the way to staying races.

Leger prospects here are the likes of Tasmanian Derby winner Dunkel, Far Too Long at just start two and Promises Kept after the hatrick.

Other VOBIS races on the program are the Gold Dash (1200m) for the 3yos, Gold Sprint (1200m) for the older horses, Gold Mile (1600m), Gold Heath (2100m) for the middle distance horses and the Gold Distaff (1400m) for the fillies and mares.
