5:25am - FESTIVAL STAKES | 1500m | Listed | i

A great field for the feature event over 1500m. Aomen and Strawberry Boy sort out the lead with the big boy Monton right on their hammer. It's hard to go past the efforts of Generalife, who brings Hucklebuck and Lucky Hussler form-lines to his favourite track. Last time he was in Sydney Famous Seamous was lucky he didn't get clear room - a moral beaten. The big-striding Queenslander Sir Moments is sure to be storming at them late. He has really impressed at all his recent starts and the only question is if Rosehill with the rail out 6 metres is kind to swoopers at this stage of the day. Strawberry Boy and Monton are the on-pacers with credentials to stick on after they both beat subsequent winner Heart Testa last start. Other chances include Mouro (game, but might lack top speed), I'm Imposing (needs Good Tempo) and Estonian Princess (will try hard). No Group 1 gallopers to chase this time for the Godolphin General.
