Sincero and Aloha share the top line of betting at $7.50 for the Epsom Handicap in TAB Sportsbet’s first market posted on Friday.
Sincero, who claimed the Stradbroke Handicap in June, and Coolmore Classic winner Aloha are both scheduled to begin their respective campaigns on Saturday week.
Aloha won a barrier trial at Cranbourne on Monday ahead of her return in the Bobbie Lewis Quality at Flemington while Sincero will line up in the Tramway Handicap at Randwick following a comfortable second in a trial last week.
Randwick Guineas winner Ilovethiscity is at $9 for the Epsom (1600m) on October 1 with My Kingdom Of Fife next at $10 ahead of his stablemate Altius ($12).
Formerly owned by the Queen, My Kingdom Of Fife won his first three Australian starts in the care of Chris Waller including the Group One Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) and ran second in the Doomben Cup.
He has run fifth in two recent barrier trials and heads betting with Glass Harmonium at $8 for the Metropolitan Handicap (2400m) on Epsom day at Randwick.
The Mike Moroney-trained Glass Harmonium was also imported from Europe and finished third in the Doomben Cup.
Helmet, a dual Group One winner of the Sires’ Produce and Champagne Stakes at two, is the $5 favourite for the Spring Champion Stakes (2000m).
He kicks off his campaign in Saturday’s Run To The Rose at Rosehill where he is second favourite behind Smart Missile.
Helmet is the $6.50 favourite for the Caulfield Guineas (1600m) on October 8 ahead of Smart Missile ($8.50).
