One of the veterans of the field at eight years old, carrying the second heaviest weight but trained by the astute Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott. Waterhouse won this race with Fiorente in 2013.
The big tick for Knights Order is the heavy track expected on Tuesday – he has won twice and placed twice more from five starts on heavy tracks, as well as winning three times on soft. He won the Sydney Cup over 3200m on heavy ground in April.
He hasn’t finished worse than fourth in his four starts this preparation, and ran third in the Caulfield Cup at his last start. Could be a major player and a good bet at the $16 he was paying as of Monday afternoon.
Is expected to lead the pack and set the pace, then will be trying to hold them off down the straight.
