The Kris Lees-trained Clearly Innocent will shoot for $10 million in prizemoney at Randwick after securing one of the final spots in the 12-horse field.

Clearly Innocent ran a solid third in the Group II Premiere Stakes (1200m) at Randwick on Saturday.

Meanwhile, Coolmore has declared it will run Tulip in The Everest.

Tulip was a Group III winner as a two-year-old and finished fourth to Alizee in the Group II Tea Rose Stakes (1400m) last time out.

Sportsbet has Clearly Innocent as a $21 chance in its latest market on The Everest while Tulip is at $51.
