A capacity field of 13 three-year-old colts and geldings have accepted for the Group 3 San Domenico Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon.

Having finished third upon resumption in The Rosebud (1100m) at Listed level, the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained The Instructor ($4.60) heads betting markets with online bookmakers.

The winner of the Blue Diamond Stakes Preview back in January, the son of Russian Revolution is expected to be hard to beat second-up, with jockey Adam Hyeronimus keeping the ride.

Unbeaten colt Kandinsky Abstract ($5.50) holds the second line of betting, with James McDonald booked to ride.

Having not been seen since claiming a Canterbury maiden on May 3, the Zoustar colt is expected to be in for a fruitful campaign, as the Waller-trained sprinter is towards the top of futures markets for some of the best three-year-old Group 1 races this spring.

The Waterhouse & Bott barn hold a strong hand in Saturday’s Group 3, with Introducing ($7) and Butch Cassidy ($19) joining stablemate The Instructor in the final field for the San Domenico Stakes.

Group 3 winners Barber ($10) and Libertad ($7) are another duo to return in Saturday’s 1100m scamper, with both horses destined to progressively step up in trip as their campaign goes on.

The Group 3 San Domenico Stakes is the second leg of the quaddie on the 10-race program at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon.
