Flaming Rabbit could become the first galloper to make his local debut in the city’s most prestigious race since 1996, while Bon’s A Pearla and Majestic Colour are just outside the field of 14 on ratings
With a rating of 83, Flaming Rabbit is safely in the field – unless the Jockey Club’s selection panel uses its discretion to exclude him – but the four-year-old colt hasn’t run since finishing sixth in the Group One Prix du Moulin de Longchamp (1,600m) in France in September last year.
