Blue Diamond Stakes winner Catchy remains at the top of the order of entry and is one of ten three year olds from the Lindsay Park Stables.
Catchy along with her stablemate Formality are the only two fillies among the Ladbrokes Caulfield Guineas 2nd acceptances and are joined by eight colts prepared by David and Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig.
Caulfield Guineas favourite Royal Symphony is one of three colts trainer Tony McEvoy has left in contention and is joined by Azazel and Over Exposure.
The undefeated Royal Symphony will have his final Ladbrokes Caulfield Guineas hit out in the Group 3 $175,000 Caulfield Guineas Prelude (1400m) at Caulfield on Sunday.
Caulfield trainer Mick Price also has a big contingent of three year olds left in the running for the Ladbrokes Caulfield Guineas with the well performed Masculino heading the stables seven contenders.
Golden Rose winner Trapeze Artist is also among the 2nd acceptances but trainer Gerald Ryan has already indicated that the Snitzel colt will miss the Ladbrokes Caulfield Guineas and head to the Group 1 $500,000 Coolmore Stud Stakes (1200m) at Flemington on November 4.
