Kementari is on the third line of betting for the Group I Golden Rose (1400m) at $9 but is 55th on the latest order of entry released by the Australian Turf Club on Monday.

The son of Lonhro will be relying on a high drop off rate to take his place in the field which is set at 16 plus four emergencies.

Kementari resumed with a solid fourth behind Golden Rose favourite Menari in last Saturday's Group II Run To The Rose (1200m) and is tipped to improve significantly up to the 1400m of the Golden Rose.
