Autumn Glow has won the Seven Sunrise Stakes barrier draw after securing the inside draw. She will be able to land wherever she wants, and we expect James McDonald to have her riding the speed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gringotts, who has barrier 6, could show early speed, and we also have Idle Flyer taking a forward role to put pressure on the $1.22 favourite.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Due to the size of the Seven Sunrise Stakes field, drawing wide won\u2019t have much of an impact, and Ceolwulf, who drew widest, will settle at the back of the field regardless.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

#1 Ceolwulf <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

He was taking ground off Lindermann last start, and it was good seeing his turn-of-foot return. He\u2019s a classy Group 1 performer, and if Autumn Glow isn\u2019t at her very best, he\u2019s good enough to cause an upset. We wouldn\u2019t be ruling him out at the double-figure odds, especially if they inject some speed into the race.<\/p>\n

#2 Gringotts <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

His run for third last start was a top effort, and he\u2019s coming along nicely for this spring campaign. It\u2019s going to be a tough race tactically for him, but he\u2019s another runner who could love some pace in the run. If one of the runners goes too hard in front, Gringotts is good enough to storm over the top.<\/p>\n

#4 Autumn Glow \u2013 $1.22<\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

The star of the show and the best horse racing on Saturday<\/strong>. She is an absolute star, and she was too good for Sheza Alibi last start, who has since won the Group 1 Makybe Diva Stakes<\/a> in Melbourne. It\u2019s tough form to look away from, and we can\u2019t see the stellar mare being beaten on Saturday. However, there isn\u2019t much to get excited about at the odds.<\/p>\n

#5 Aeliana <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

She is another Waller-trained mare who is likely to run in Melbourne against an easier field. She was bitterly disappointing last start, but she didn\u2019t get any favours early, and punters should expect a better effort on Saturday, no matter where she races. If she runs here, she could track the speed and give Autumn Glow a challenge, which she has done in the past.<\/p>\n

#6 Idle Flyer <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div> \n <\/div> \n
\n

Her run for fourth last start only barely got a pass mark. We\u2019re not sure where to place her in the Seven Sunrise Stakes, and that makes her tough to back. The $23 odds are telling of her chances, but she could run in the money, especially against a small field. However, she might be competing for second.<\/p>\n
