Trainer John Sargent’s autumn dream for Palmetto is to earn a berth in the $4m The Star Doncaster Mile so he’s looking for a positive kick off to the gelding’s campaign in the Yarraman Park Handicap (1400m) at Rosehill on Saturday.

A return to Rosehill could be the key to two stablemates striking their best form.

Consistent gelding Soldier Of Love has earned a shot at The Gong.

Alysha Collett is the new rider for the John O’Shea-trained Maximal in the Golden Eagle.

Bjorn Baker-trained pair earn a shot at the Rosehill Gold Cup.
