The Instructor opens favourite for San Domenico Stakes
A capacity field of 13 three-year-old colts and geldings have accepted for the Group 3 San Domenico Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon.
Having finished third upon resumption in The Rosebud (1100m) at Listed level, the Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained The Instructor ($4.60) heads betting markets with online bookmakers.
The winner of the Blue Diamond Stakes Preview back in January, the son of Russian Revolution is expected to be hard to beat second-up, with jockey Adam Hyeronimus keeping the ride.
Unbeaten colt Kandinsky Abstract ($5.50) holds the second line of betting, with James McDonald booked to ride.
Having not been seen since claiming a Canterbury maiden on May 3, the Zoustar colt is expected to be in for a fruitful campaign, as the Waller-trained sprinter is towards the top of futures markets for some of the best three-year-old Group 1 races this spring.
The Waterhouse & Bott barn holds a strong hand in Saturday’s Group 3, with Introducing ($7) and Butch Cassidy ($19) joining stablemate The Instructor in the final field for the San Domenico Stakes.
Group 3 winners Barber ($10) and Libertad ($7) are also returning in Saturday’s 1100m scamper, with both horses destined to step up in trip as their respective campaigns go on.
The Group 3 San Domenico Stakes is the second leg of the quaddie on the 10-race program at Rosehill on Saturday afternoon.
