The weights have been released for the 2026 Stradbroke Handicap, with the $3 million feature headlining the Eagle Farm program on Saturday, June 13.
Jimmysstar has been allotted 58.5kg, with the three-time Group 1 winner aiming to bounce back to winning form in Saturday's Kingsford-Smith Cup.
Four-time Group 1 winner Fangirl has 56.5kg, sharing that impost with Private Eye, Another Wil and Rothfire, the latter having been the upset Doomben 10,000 victor on May 16, while Private Eye finished third in the 2025 Stradbroke Handicap when carrying topweight of 57kg.
Abounding (52kg) received a ballot-free Stradbroke slot after winning the Group 3 BRC Sprint on May 23, which was her fourth stakes victory overall.
Splash Back (52kg) was a second-up weight-for-age winner of the Victory Stakes on May 2, arriving for that assignment off an unlucky Randwick return.
The weights and ballot positions for the 2026 Stradbroke Handicap are detailed below.
