The $500,000 Group I Flight Stakes (1600m) will pit some of Australia's best three-year-old fillies against each other while some of The Everest candidates will have their final lead-up run in the $500,000 Group II Premiere Stakes (1200m).

The other Randwick Group II contest on Saturday is the $500,000 Hill Stakes.
