Sticky draw for Everest placegetter

Everest winner Private Eye has the outside barrier in the field of 12 for Saturday's Nature Strip Stakes at Rosehill. Private eye has been a surprise packet in sprinting this spring. His draw is directly opposite stablemate and defending champion Eduardo. Eduardo is coming off a disappointing performance in The Everest. Brutality is another horse that trainer Joe Pride is interested in following. Brutal will back up in a Champions Mile at Flemington on Saturday.
