Feature Race and Key Contenders
In the feature Southern Command Gold Trophy, Manuel faces a competitive field of seven other runners, including Noraiah and David.

The Star Future Plate, a 2,000-meter test for Class II horses, features a smaller but high-quality field where Youremanorborne and Golden Dancer are expected to battle for the top honors.

In the first division, Azaadi is favored to lead the pack, while the second division sees Mother’s Gift and Staria as the primary threats. The final race of the day, the 2,000-meter Spearhead Plate, rounds out the afternoon with Enrich and Alexios expected to contest the finish.
