Tarry saddles Gr2 winners Wonderwall and Purple Diamond in a four-pronged attack that includes reserve runner, Visigoth.
The race is restricted to qualifying graduates of the 2016 CTS Ready To Run Sales and the final field of sixteen was decided by a panel appointed by Phumelela.
The winner will bank R1,25 million and stakes are paid all the way down to R30 000 for a tenth placed finish.
