Watch Me Rock has firmed as the standout favourite to repel the interstate contingent in this year’s Group 1 Railway Stakes at Ascot.
The Grant and Alana Williams-trained gelding sits at the top of betting at around $3.50 with major Australian bookmakers.
Boasting victories in four of his past five runs, Watch Me Rock has come up with barrier four and will again be partnered by champion WA jockey William Pike.
Stablemate Western Empire, who will be ridden by Victorian jockey Billy Egan, occupies the second line of betting after drawing the inside gate.
Three eastern-state-trained runners will make the trip west: Iowna Merc from the Bjorn Baker yard, Osipenko for Chris Waller, and Annabel and Rob Archibald’s Depth Of Character.
