Andrew Gluyas has two nominations in the race named in honour of his father-in-law and former training partner Saturday’s $120,000 Leon Macdonald Stakes (1400m) at Morphettville.
Andrew Gluyas has Hopon Harry and Manhatten Times nominated for the race formerly named the Penny Edition Stakes, the stable searching for a second successive feature after they won with Dalasan last year.
It's just shy of 15 years since Gluyas trained Ready Made to win at Cheltenham having enjoyed a decorated career in partnership with Leon Macdonald.
Behemoth (Spring) Stakes winner See You In Heaven will continue her march towards the Melbourne Spring Carnival in the feature, Richard and Chantelle Jolly also set to saddle up Regalo Di Gaetano and Pudding who kick off their respective campaigns in the race along with an in-form Wild Imagination.
Goodwood winner Savatoxl will tackle the race after a brave run when second behind See You In Heaven in the Behemoth Stakes, Calypso Reign and Ironclad also progressing from the same race.
Astute Victorian trainers Patrick Payne and Nick Ryan also have nominations. Payne's in-form mare Seonee is chasing her fourth win in succession and Ryan has Eddison, who finished down the track behind Mr Brightside in the P B Lawrence Stakes last time out and Regardsmaree.
