There are 18 Group I winners entered for the Railway Stakes (1600m), Winterbottom Stakes (1200m) and Kingston Town Classic (1800m).

Former local star Vega Magic ran second in the $10 million The Everest last Saturday and he headlines the 53 nominations for the Winterbottom Stakes.

Fellow The Everest runner, Newmarket Handicap winner Redkirk Warrior is also among the nominations for the weight-for-age sprint at Ascot on December 2.

Other Group I-winning nominations include last year's Winterbottom Stakes winner Takedown, Stradbroke Handicap winner Impending, Australian Guineas winner Hey Doc, Darley Classic winner Malaguerra, Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes winner Santa Ana Lane, Oakleigh Plate winner Shiedel and 2016 Newmarket Handicap winner The Quarterback.

The 81 nominations for the Railway Stakes on November 25 include 10 Group I-winning horses. The headline acts are five-time Group I winner Black Heart Bart and Western Australia's reigning Horse of the Year Scales Of Justice.

The eight other Group I winners are It's Somewhat, Redkirk Warrior, Silent Sedition, Egg Tart, Good Project, Ihtsahymn, Perfect Reflection, and Single Gaze.

"Perth Racing is delighted with not only the quantity and quality of The TABtouch Masters nominations but also their geographical spread," Racing and Wagering Manager of Perth Racing Mark Worwood said.

"One hundred and nine of the 222 nominations for the club's three Group I races are trained outside Western Australia and that demonstrates the pulling power of an event of which there's none like it anywhere else."
