Capitalist has the race favourite in the Golden Gift in exciting colt Captivant, who won on debut at Randwick three weeks ago, while American Pharoah (USA) and Shalaa (IRE) each have a runner that has trialled well in Head of State and Hunnam.

The Chris Waller trained Head of State was the most expensive Australian yearling by American Pharoah sold in 2020 fetching $850,000 at Magic Millions and has won both of his barrier trials in good style.

Hunnam is another good looking type by Shalaa,
