The connections of Chance To Dance, Mister Impatience and Pentathlon are happy with the re-scheduled arrangements for the $2 milion race over 3200m.

Like the majority of starters in last Saturday’s no race, they are taking the view that the re-run will be similar to backing up a stayer in the Sandown Cup or Sandown Classic two weeks after running in the Melbourne Cup, a program many stayers follow in the spring.

Six of the original starters completed the course last Saturday when their riders failed to realise that stewards had ruled a no race after Almoonqith broke down and fell after passing the winning post on the first lap. His injured rider James Doyle was left on the track and required assistance from Blake Shinn, who was dislodged from Who Shotthebarman in the incident.

Trainer Mike Moroney has decided not to run Vengeur Masque in the re-scheduled Sydney Cup but will be represented by Mister Impatience, who was making his first appearance in Australia last Saturday.

Vengeur Masque, who ran second in the Mornington Cup on March 25, will be spelled. He was the last of the six horses to be ridden out to the finish last Saturday.

Godolphin stayer Polarisation was the first home of the six who completed the course, beating Chance To Dance, Penglai Pavilion, Annus Mirabilis, Assign and Vengeur Masque.

Mister Impatience won last year’s Wellington Cup over 3200m at Trentham.

In another Sydney Cup development Hong Kong-based Chad Schofield is in line to ride the import Harlem for the Lindsay Park stable in the Sydney Cup.

The five-year-old wil be a new entry for the Sydney Cup after running eighth behind Winx in the G1 Queen Elizabeth Stakes (2000m) at Randwick last Saturday.

Harlem was third in the G2 Blamey Stakes (1600m) at Flemington at his first start in Australia after arriving from Andre Fabre’s stable in France.
