The longest stakes race of the season, as well as the last stakes race. Melmich, the 2015 champion of this race, has since landed two 2nd place finishes the past 2 years, while the 2016 winner Bangkok is looking to play spoiler. Meanwhile, Pumpkin Rumble has leading jockey Eurico Rosa Da Silva on top, while Vintage Matters has the trending Emma-Jayne Wilson on board. Wilson already has a hat trick this day, and is looking to add more wins before the season finishes.
