Trainers Grant & Alana Williams, owner Bob Peters and jockey William Pike are aiming for a fourth-consecutive Railway Stakes win in 2021, where they have favourite Western Empire ($1.80 via TAB), who will jump from gate three.
Following a teasing start to his career, this four-year-old is proving to be one of the rising stars in Western Australia, culminating his autumn with a Derby victory before resuming with a dominant win in the Asian Beau Stakes,
Kissonallforcheeks (barrier one) was defeated as a well-supported even money favourite in her disapppointing effort behind Western Empire, but she bounced back on November 13.
Tellem We're Comin (barrier 13) is another Railway Stakes runner prepared by trainer Daniel Morton.
Chris & Michael Gangemi have trained seven winners from 16 starters in November and they have a talented pair in Massimo (barrier 11) and Notorious One (barrier four) in the final field.
Neville Parnham is another with dual representation through Kay Cee (barrier six) and Platoon (barrier 14), as is Rhys Radford with Comfort Me (barrier 16) and Son Of Bacchus (barrier eight).
Radford prepared Great Shot to defeat Black Heart Bart and Tom Melbourne in the 2017 Railway Stakes.
Simon Miller saddles up topweight Valour Road (barrier 17) and five-time stakes winner Dance Music (barrier 15), two runners that have both earned over $1 million in prizemoney.
A full line-up of 16 runners and one emergency make-up the final field for the 2021 Railway Stakes, which is the first Group 1 of the Perth Carnival.
