        runners will contest Saturday's $1,021,930 The BMW Stakes (G1) after acceptances were

        and fifth placegetters, Rain Gauge (Darren Beadman) and Ethereal (Scott Seamer), who have
        headed north from Melbourne. 
        The other runners are Freemason (Rod Quinn), Dress Circle
        (Brian York) and Sale of Century (Corey Brown).
