Royal Ascot-bound mare Charm Stone will have to overcome a difficult barrier after drawing wide in her attempt to claim consecutive wins in the Group 1 Robert Sangster Stakes (1200m) at Morphettville.
The Mick Price and Michael Kent Jr-trained five-year-old has been allocated gate 15 in a capacity field of 17 runners for the $1 million feature.
Charm Stone produced a strong performance to win the race in 2025 from barrier 11 under Mark Zahra, who reunites with the mare for Saturday’s contest.
She is currently rated a $10 chance, while the Anthony and Sam Freedman-trained Point Barrow, drawn directly to her outside, heads the market at $3.70.
Elsewhere on the program, the Group 1 Australasian Oaks (2000m) market is led by the Danny O’Brien-trained Getta Good Feeling.
Chasing a hat-trick of autumn victories, Getta Good Feeling has drawn barrier five and is a $2.50 favourite, with Ciaron Maher’s Salty Pearl next in betting at $5.
Both leading Oaks contenders have secured favourable inside draws for the 2000m feature.
