The 16 runners and their starting positions for the Golden Slipper

The two Golden Slipper pre-draw favourites Profiteer and Stay Inside have been handed favourable gates for Saturday‘s $3.5 million contest over 1200 metres at Rosehill.

This year’s line-up consists of 11 colts and geldings and five fillies chasing victory in the career defining race.

Profiteer and Stay Inside were joint $4.50 favourites at TAB.com.au prior to the 11am draw on Tuesday.

Stay Inside drew barrier three while Profiteer came away with barrier five and TAB trimmed Stay Inside into $4 outright favoritism while Profiteer remained at $4.50.

Just two other runners are in single figure odds with Artorius easing from $7 out to $8 after drawing barrier 13 and the filly, Four Moves Ahead stayed at $9 after drawing barrier 10.

Todman Stakes winner Anamoe drew the outside gate, barrier 16 and eased from $9 out to $11 while his Godolphin stablemate Ingratiating stayed at $15 after drawing barrier 11.

Silver Slipper Stakes winner Home Affairs was the other significant firmer, in from $17 to $15 after drawing barrier two.

Anabel Neasham‘s first Golden Slipper runner Queen Of Wizardry was the last horse into the field of 16 and will start from barrier four.
