Unbeaten five-time winners Anything Goes still holds the No 1 spot on the log with War Of Athena just behind her.
Somasonic from the Sean Tarry yard remains in sixth spot but his merit rating went up from 90 to 91 following his 0.75-length second to Crank It Up at Turffontein on Saturday.
The Non-Black Type race is run over 1400m and is open to eligible graduates of the 2019 Bloodstock South Africa Emperor’s Palace Summer Ready To Run Sale.
Entries for the race close at 11am on Monday 19 October with a supplementary entry opportunity that closes at 9am on Monday 26 October.
Declarations close at 11am on Tuesday 27 October.
The field will be limited to 16 runners plus two reserves.
The final field will be determined by a panel appointed by the racing operator.
The race forms part of the Gr2 Peermont Emperors Palace Charity Mile race meeting and incudes three Grade 3 races.
They are The Graham Beck Stakes for three-year-olds, the HSH Princess Charlene Starling Stakes for three-year-old fillies – both over 1400m – and the Yellowwood Handicap over 1800m for fillies and mares.
