The veteran gelding Vungers is a cut below the group-level runners in Australia, which often leads to appearances in handicap cup races at smaller venues throughout the state of Victoria.

Vungers was fourth in the restricted Melbourne Cup Carnival County Final at a mile at Flemington Racecourse on Nov. 5, beaten 1 3/4 lengths in the $368,000 race, and rebounded to win the Donald Cup at about a mile at Donald Racecourse on Nov. 15.

The six-time stakes winner Trekking is winless in his last four starts in some of Australia’s top sprints.

This is largely unfamiliar territory for Trekking, who has won 10 of 32 starts and will be favored to win his third Group 1 race in Saturday’s $736,000 Winterbottom Stakes at six furlongs at Ascot Racecourse in Perth.

Caught three paths wide into the far turn, Classic Unicorn had to work hard to make his way to the rail after breaking from post 10 in a Class 2 handicap on Oct. 10 at Happy Valley Racecourse. Didn’t matter, as Classic Unicorn rolled to a sharp victory anyway, and when he runs back in another Class 2, the featured race Wednesday at Happy Valley, finding the rail will pose no problem.
