The last-start South Australian Cup winner has landed barrier 10 in the $400,000 event and has been leapfrogged in the TAB’s market by Tasmanian star Beautide, which has drawn barrier three.
The Smythes Creek trainer will have three runners in the race, with Philadelphia Man and Restrepo also making the final field.
Philadelphia Man, a beaten favourite in last Saturday night’s Shepparton Cup, is second favourite after drawing barrier four, while Restrepo, which won the Hamilton Cup in scintillating fashion on January 18, is one of the outsiders and has drawn gate 13.
Emergency Chilli Palmer has gate eight, meaning both Guaranteed and Restrepo will come in one position should he not start in the race.
