Pride of Jenni’s front running effort in 2024 came with a Betfair Starting Price of $4.78, which was better than best tote by 13.5% post commission.

Mr Brightside is looking to win it again this year, but his 2023 crown was at a good price of $6.50 on the exchange which edged the corporate average by 2.4%.

Before that it was veteran Zaaki who saluted in 2022 as favourite with a marginal edge on price evident.

Average speed expected here with Rise At Dawn leading comfortably.
Flying Trapeze may go forward to sit outside the leader. Another Wil in the trail and Mr Brightside in the 1×1.
Light Infantry Man and Tom Kitten worse than midfield.
Atishu out the back.

MR BRIGHTSIDE is a 9-time G1 winner who ran 2nd in this race last year. Racing well and rates highly as always. TOM KITTEN was 2nd beaten a nose by Mr Brightside last start. 3rd in the Golden Eagle and 2nd in the G1 Epsom Handicap last prep to Ceolwulf. ANOTHER WIL won the G1 CF Orr Stakes for us last start. Is a query at the mile in this grade. ATISHU  loves Flemington, with multiple G1 wins at this track. Capable of winning.
