The upcoming All-Star Mile at Caulfield is shaping up to be an intriguing contest with 11 confirmed starters as of Monday morning, following the announcement that Geelong winner Holymanz has secured a wildcard entry after finishing second in the Blamey Stakes.
The final field is still to be determined, with Racing Victoria yet to announce additional Wildcard selections.
Among those in contention is The Astrologist, after placing third in the Newmarket Handicap.
Notably, Jimmysstar, Southport Tycoon, Pericles, and Atishu will not compete, opening up the field for others.
Racing Victoria has indicated that up to 16 horses can participate, promising a competitive race with a mix of confirmed talent and potential wildcard entrants making the final lineup highly anticipated.
Mr Brightside is the short priced favourite at $1.80 with Australian betting apps in the race with Pride Of Jenni given basically the only other chance of beating the favourite at $3.80 with all others horses at big odds with Ladbrokes.
