Hanseatic has drawn barrier one
Race favourite is undefeated Street Boss (USA) colt Hanseatic for Godolphin, while Magic Millions 2YO Classic winner Away Game is an $11 chance and will give her sire Snitzel a great chance to cement his place at the top of the leading Australoian two year old sires table.

I Am Invincible colt Rulership was a good second to Hanseatic at his first Melbourne appearance and has drawn favourably in seven.
