The barrier draw function was held in the sales arena at Inglis' Riverside complex after 15 acceptors were confirmed for the rich juvenile dash.
A $150,000 Inglis Premier purchase from the Mill Park draft, the Gai Waterhouse and Adrian Bott trained Dawn Passage, was a $3 favourite on Monday and is sure to hold down top-billing after drawing barrier seven.
Early second favourite Accession had no luck and drew poorly in 14, while spring stakes-winner Espaaniyah, who was unplaced as favourite behind Dawn Passage last start, came up with the gate six.
Tuesday's function also unveiled the Inglis Millennium trophy which is a replica of the bronze statue that stands outside the front entrance to the Riverside hotel.
Below is the final field and barrier draw for the 2019 Inglis Millennium.
