Favourite Soqrat drew 14 – and history shows that the winners come from the single digit gates. The last double digit draw winner was Wagner, who raced from the 11 gate in 2012.
Prior to that, Mike de Kock’s Flirtation won from 16 in 2010.
The updated field with all jockeys included is show below.
Cole Dicken becomes one of the most inexperienced apprentices to be given an opportunity to ride in the Summer Cup when he partners Insignis from the 20 draw.
