The Silver Eagle (1300m) has attracted a quality field of 14 for this Saturday at Royal Randwick, as the four-year-olds compete for the $1 million prize packet on offer.

The Tony & Maddysen Sears-trained gelding Yellow Brick clings to favouritism early doors at $3.60 with online bookmakers; however, Pericles is hot on his heels at +300.

Ruthless Dame is one of two Group 1 winners engaged in the field, as the Ciaron Maher & David Eustace-trained mare heads into Saturday second-up from a mid-field finish in The Shorts (1100m).

The Jason Warren camp sends Benedetta (+500) north from Victoria after finding the minor money in the Group 2 Bobbie Lewis Quality (1200m).

Meanwhile, Garza Blanca (+800) is in need of three scratchings just to get a run in the final field, despite seeing plenty of early support.

Kibou (+900) will need to take dramatic improvement after failing last start, while Vienna Princess (+1200) is a mare in form, striking victory first-up.

Two horses will make their Australian debut, both for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott; Firstly Coin Toss (+2500) who built his credentials in Singapore, and New Endeavour (+1600), possessing a strong European record.

The Silver Eagle is the second leg of the Randwick quaddie this Saturday and is set to get underway at 4:50pm AEDT.
