Overpass in clash with Everest hopefuls Lost And Running, Mazu, Masked Crusader

Overpass is the ninth confirmed starter for The TAB Everest. He will run in the Group 2 Premiere Stakes (1200m) at Royal Randwick on Saturday. Last start he finished second to champion Nature Strip in The Shorts. Melbourne businessman James Kennedy secured Overpass for his slot in Everest on October 15. Over Pass beat Forbidden Love and Anamoe at weight-for-age earlier this year off one barrier trial. Trainer Bjorn Baker is optimistic OverPass is ready to run to a career-best in world's richest turf race.

Lost And Running has opened as the $2.25 favourite for the Group 2 Premiere Stakes at Randwick on Saturday. Overpass is on the third line of betting at $6.50. The Premiere is the last chance for Apache Chase, Kementari, Private Eye, Shelby Sixtysix and It's Me to push for one of the final The Everest slots. Coolmore secured Golden Rose winner Jacquinot and Aquis surprised with their decision to lock in former Hong Kong sprinter Joyful Fortune.
