miRunners trainers have five runners in this Saturday’s $2m Group 1 Sydney Cup at Randwick.
A field of 20 starters will set off on the two-mile feature handicap.
The Sydney Cup is one of four Group 1 Sydney Autumn Racing Carnival features held on Day 2 of The Championships at Royal Randwick Racecourse on the second Saturday in April each season.
The 2016 Melbourne Cup winner Almandin heads up the weights with 57kg. Chairman’s Handicap winner Sir Charles Road is in the field as is Adelaide Cup winner Fanatic while Japanese raider Prestwick adds further interest to the race.
