The favourites have all fared well after the field and barrier draw was declared for the $10million Golden Eagle at Randwick this Saturday.
Unbeaten favourite Autumn Glow drew barrier nine while Japanese entrant Panja Tower will start from barrier four.
With the Golden Eagle switching to Randwick from Rosehill, the 1500m distance has been retained of which there are only a handful run at Randwick each year.
Saturday’s will be the fifth in 2025, there were only three in 2024.
It does allow for a straight run of at least 300 metres from the gates so the draw might be a bit more forgiving for those out wide than many starts offer.
