The chances of securing a spot for the promising gelding Another Wil in next month’s Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) appear to be dwindling, as the Ciaron Maher-trained four-year-old is unlikely to make the field for Saturday’s Group 3 Doncaster Prelude (1500m) at Rosehill.
Despite his impressive record of four wins from six career starts, including victories in his last three outings, Another Wil finds himself at the bottom of the order to gain a start among the 32 nominations received by Monday morning.
With a maximum field of 16 plus six emergencies for the Prelude, his prospects seem slim.
Currently sitting at the fifth line of betting for the Doncaster with odds of +1000, Another Wil has also been entered for the $150,000 Benchmark 88 (1400m) at Rosehill on Saturday, where there are 29 nominations.
