A star-studded line-up of sprinters do battle in the Group 1 $1.25 million Newmarket Handicap (1200m) with Kemalpasa (15) the sole withdrawal from the field and it is Chris Waller’s star filly September Run ($2.25) the punters are coming for.
The co-main event on the card is the Group 1 $1.5 million Australian Cup (2000m), the weight-for-age classic set to jump at 4:45pm (AEDT) as race eight and it is the reigning champion Fifty Stars ($4.40) heading the markets.
