Positivity is out of the Caulfield Cup while a doubt remains on Deny Knowledge.

Racing Victoria vets have conducted examinations on runners engaged in the Caulfield Cup.

The Ciaron Maher stable has 16 nominations for the Melbourne Cup which closed on Tuesday.

The conditions of the Listed Chesham Stakes states that a runner must be sired by a stallion, or out of a dam who has won over nine and a half furlongs or further, giving it a unique edge over the other Royal Ascot juvenile contests. Despite the restrictions still favouring super-sires like Galileo, we have enjoyed some longer-priced winners of the race and future stars such as Pinatubo.
