The $10 million The Golden Eagle (1500m) has drawn together an outstanding field for just its fifth running at Rosehill on Saturday and here is our assessment of the form of each of the runners.
The four-year-old set weight contest is the second richest race in Australia after it was introduced to the racing calendar in 2019.Join now and start streaming instantly >This year’s field includes eight Group 1 winners and six international raiders. The 20 runners consist of 15 entires and geldings and five mares.1) HAWAII FIVE OH Hawaii Five Oh is a giant of a horse with plenty of ability.
Communist showed outstanding ability last autumn winning the Group 1 Randwick Guineas and running a close sixth in the Group 1 George Ryder Stakes. He’s struggled in three starts this spring but with luck in running he can run a competitive race.Jockey: Brett Prebble, Trainer: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott. TAB: $101
Knight’s Choice came to Sydney with a big reputation after reeling off four successive wins including his impressive effort in the Winx Guineas to close out his three-year-old season. He’s been unplaced in two runs this spring but his last start fifth in the Filante Handicap was full of merit after he got involved in a scrimmage on the home turn. Improver but has to go to a new level against this outstanding field.
Age Of Kings is a lightly raced but obviously talented entire who was tested at Group 1 level in the Irish 2000 Guineas earlier this year when unplaced behind the outstanding Paddington. But Age Of Kings did win the Group 3 Jersey Stakes at Royal Ascot in June. His two trials since joining the Chris Waller stable have been hard to read but he is very highly rated.Jockey: Regan Bayliss, Trainer: Charles Hills.
