The Golden Eagle has become a highlight of the Australian racing calendar, showcasing the country's best 4YOs over 1500 meters.
This year's field combines a fascinating mix of proven local stars and exciting international talent, led by Japan's standout Ascoli Piceno.
We're in for a thrilling and competitive race with key players coming in off various form lines.
While some runners enter off tough, high-stakes contests like The Everest, others have been specifically set for this day.
In such a wide open field race tactics and positioning will be crucial, especially as several key runners have drawn wide.

Who does Brad Davidson like in The Golden Eagle?
The early positioning will be crucial, as several runners are vying for prominent spots.
Ostraka and French raider Lazzat will go forward with Makarena potentially being caught three wide.
Tom Kitten who has the option to be ridden further forward should land the leaders back with Kintyre and War Machine to his outside.
Encap, Griff, Xidaki, Stefi Magnetica, Craig, Joliestar will all be bustling for positions in behind.
Leaving race favourite Ascoli Piceno, Southport Tycoon and Veight all towards the rear.
Rated as the best miler in Japan, this 4YO mare brings elite G1 formlines to this contest.
If she had drawn a barrier her quote would likely be much shorter, but just how far back will she get on a fast Rosehill track?
All eyes will be on how the track is playing, but granted they can run on she will be in with a cracking chance thanks to her explosive turn of foot.
I was with Tom Kitten in the King Charles and want to stick with him here.
He will be strong over the 1500m distance and from the low draw can land in a forward position.
He has good change-up speed and if he gets the gaps can shoot through to be there at crunch time.
At $10.00 he is the clear standout value bet in the race.
All-In Boys thoughts on The Golden Eagle
#12 Lazzat $6.50
The unbeaten French mare would be the heavy favourite if Ascoli Piceno wasn't racing.
She has a good racing pattern, will land up on pace and gets in well at the weights considering her record.
There will be a red hot tempo in this event but she has proven she can absorb high pressure contests.
If she gets a breather turning for home she could easily pinch this.
#15 Stefi Magnetica $10.00
Suited by the rise to 1500m, Stefi Magnetica comes in off a solid Everest run where she was a strong closer.
With a good early position, she has every chance to be in the finish.
