The Chris Waller-trained Funstar has opened $8 ‘Pre Nominations’ favourite at TAB for the TAB Epsom Handicap at Royal Randwick on October 3.
On last year’s card, Funstar established herself as a star of the future by winning the Group 1 Flight Stakes over 1600 metres.
Funstar was victorious in the Group 2 Phar Lap Stakes at Rosehill Gardens last March before finishing fourth in the Group 1 Vinery Stud Stakes at Rosehill and second to Con Te Partiro in the Coolmore Legacy Stakes at Randwick during The Championships.
The Jamie Richards-trained Probabeel – one of Funstar’s rivals in the last 12 months – is one of three gallopers at $11.
Australian Guineas victor Alligator Blood and 10-time Group 1 winner Melody Belle are also $11 chances for the TAB Epsom Handicap.
Funstar’s stablemate Verry Elleegant and rising star Master Of Wine share $8 favouritism at TAB for The Metropolitan.
Verry Elleegant was victorious at Group 1 level last autumn in the Tancred Stakes at Rosehill while finishing second in the Chipping Norton Stakes, Ranvet Stakes and Queen Elizabeth Stakes.
Master Of Wine – trained by Michael, Wayne and John Hawkes – had won four successive races going back to last October before running fourth in the Queen Elizabeth Stakes won by Addeybb during The Championships.
