Warm favourite Moment Of Change has come up with a middle barrier for the $1 million Newmarket Handicap at Flemington on Saturday.

Moment Of Change, who has drawn gate seven, has been at the top of Newmarket Handicap betting since he finished second to champion stablemate Black Caviar in the Lightning Stakes last month.

A field of 14 has been declared for the famous sprint down the straight 1200m course with Perth stars Luckygray (barrier 14) and Barakey (13) to start from the outside stalls.

International Group One winner Ortensia, to be ridden by Dwayne Dunn, has gate nine while three-year-olds Better Than Ready and Shamexpress will start from barriers eight and 11 respectively.
