Champagne Stakes Form Guide
Given that the Champagne Stakes is the third leg of the Sydney juvenile triple crown it is best to follow the horses that competed in both the Golden Slipper and the Sires' Produce Stakes.
Typically a quality run in the Golden Slipper points towards a strong showing in the Champagne Stakes. In 2018 Seabrook put together a decent run in the Golden Slipper and went on to secure this event.
