Russian Assassin set to slay Millennium field

Gary Portelli’s unbeaten colt Sejardan is favourite for the $2 million Inglis Millennium at Randwick on Saturday. Trainer Lauri Parker's penchant for producing upset results provides hope for her bolter Russian Assassin in the same race.

Torrens won the City Tattersalls Club Cup at Randwick. Lauri Parker's horse Russian Assassin is going to the Millennium. He hasn't won any prizemoney but he's a straight forward horse.

Sejardan is the firm $3.20 favourite on TAB Fixed Odds after drawing barrier nine. Paris Dior, Xtravagant Star and The Seven Seas are the only fillies in the Millennium field. El Padrino needs to win the race and the Inglis Sires during The Championships to earn a $ 3 million bonus.

Sejardan's trainer Gary Portelli has done everything right during his exhibition gallop between races at Rosehill last Saturday. Sejardsan won the Breeders Plate and Golden Gift at his only starts. Russian Assassin is the only Inglis Millennium runner without race experience. Trainer Parker has given her colt two barrier trials for prepare for his race debut.
