Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes Final Field & Barrier Draw
- The barrier draw has been conducted for the 2021 Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes
- 17 runners make up the final field
- Early favourite Probabeel has drawn barrier 2
Three-time Group One winner Probabeel headlines the field for the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes, drawing barrier 2 after winning the Cockram Stakes first-up.
Memsie Stakes Quinella Beau Rossa (barrier 1) and Behemoth (barrier 3) pose as the two logical dangers, with the former getting a big weight swing in his favour under these handicap conditions.
Up and coming four-year-old I'm Thunderstruck (barrier 17) is an emergency, but watch out if he makes the field with the light weight and with his potent turn of foot, although an outside gate makes things tricky.
A total of 17 runners make up a strong final field for the Sir Rupert Clarke Stakes, which is the third Group One of the Melbourne Spring Carnival.
