Exciting first-up winner Sixties is set to be a likely runner at Flemington on Saturday, having been transferred to Chris Waller’s local stable ahead of the CS Hayes Stakes.
The 1400-metre Group 3 shapes as an important lead-up to the Australian Guineas and is expected to attract a strong three-year-old field.
Manfred Stakes winner Space Rider and Stutt Stakes winner West Of Swindon are among those likely to line up.
Progressive performers Loud Charlie and Officiate add further depth, while Wetumpka, Express Class and Romantic Encounter are also in the mix.
Final acceptances will confirm the field, but the early shape of the race suggests a high-quality Guineas pointer.
