Johannes Vermeer winning Picture: RacingandSports

Almandin is the defending champion looking to join Archer, Peter Pan, Rain Lover, Think Big and Makybe Diva as multiple winners.

Johannes Vermeer was great running in the Caulfield Stakes and the Caulfield Cup.

Bondi Beach has failed in the last two Melbourne Cups and US Army Ranger was runner up in an Epsom Derby.

Gallante is a Sydney Cup winner while Rekindling is a European three year old for Joseph O’Brien.
