Champions Mr Brightside (NZ) (Bullbars) and Pride Of Jenni (Pride Of Dubai) have seemingly scared away the majority of their opposition in Friday night’s Gr.2 Feehan Stakes (1600m) at The Valley.
Just four horses have accepted for the A$500,000 race, which features win-and-you’re-in status for the Gr.1 Cox Plate (2040m).
As expected, Craig Williams has been booked to ride Mr Brightside from barrier three, while the Trelawney Stud-bred Pride Of Jenni and Declan Bates will jump from barrier one.
Tony Gollan’s Antino (NZ) (Redwood) will jump from barrier two with Blake Shinn, while Attrition (Churchill) jumps from barrier four with Beau Mertens.
