Overpass faces a fresh challenge in his bid to defend his title in the The Quokka, after drawing barrier 10 for Saturday’s $5 million feature at Ascot.
The Bjorn Baker-trained sprinter, who boasts a perfect record in Western Australia including two victories in the lucrative slot race, will take on 12 rivals over 1200 metres.
Adding further intrigue to the contest, fellow eastern states raider Front Page has drawn just outside Overpass in gate 11, setting up a fascinating battle for early positioning.
New Zealand hope Crocetti, to be partnered by leading jockey Craig Williams, fared better in the draw with barrier seven and shapes as a major threat on the day.
The 2025 edition of The Quokka will be broadcast live nationwide via Racing.com, ensuring fans won’t miss a moment of Western Australia’s richest race.
