Showmanship had been one of the in-form performers during the early part of spring, with back-to-back wins at Caulfield and Moonee Valley to start his campaign, and he was a $3.40 faovurite in the all-in Rupert Clarke Stakes market.
2020 Memsie Stakes winner Behemoth has been installed as the new favourite at $3.40, with Superstorm ($7), Tagaloa ($7), and Age Of Chivalry ($9) the other runners in single figures.
