While Deauville Legend is the favourite ahead of Realm of Flowers and Without a Fight as of Monday night, the favourite is not always the safest winner.

Eight winners have come from gate 5 where Realm of Flowers was drawn, but the last was in 2013.

Only 34 of 150 favourites have won the great race as well, while four times has a 100-1 outsider won the race, the last in 2015 via Prince of Penzance, so every horse in the 23 strong field (Point Nepean was scratched) is a chance in the two-mile classic.
