Converge on a path to the Doncaster

Randwick Guineas winner Converge will stay in Sydney and be aimed at the Doncaster Mile during The Championships next month. The ATC Australian Derby is not a target for the three-year-old.

Converge won the Randwick Guineas last week. Trainer Adrian Bott wants to keep him in Sydney for the Doncaster Mile. Rachel King is one of the front-runners to ride him. He will run next in either the Rosehill Guinys (2000m) or George Ryder Stakes (1500m).

Vangelic is going to the Group 1 Coolmore Classic at Rosehill Gardens on Saturday. She drew the extreme outside barrier in gate 17. Bott will nominate Vangeli for both races next week.
