A total of 21 colts and geldings remain in contention for a start in the $1.5m Derby on 31
October, whilst 20 fillies are vying for a berth in the $1m Oaks on 5 November.

Nine of the first declarations will further their claims for a start when they line up in tomorrow afternoon’s Listed $100,000 Chargold Project Management Geelong Classic.
Joining them in the 2206m feature will be the Lee Freedman-trained Well Rounded who is the
lone Oaks contender in action at Geelong.
Star Sydney fillies Run For Naara and Melito and the Bart Cummings-trained Faint Perfume
