Star colt Pierro is among the nominations for the BMW released on Tuesday but his program is still up in the air.
The three-year-old made his first public appearance since his Cox Plate third with an impressive barrier trial win at Rosehill on Tuesday.
In the absence of an injured Nash Rawiller, Pierro was ridden by former jockey Mark Newnham, his regular trackwork partner.
Other big races he has been entered for are the Newmarket Handicap, the Australian Guineas and the Doncaster Mile with Sydney’s three-year-old features also among his options.
Last season’s juvenile triple crown winner, Pierro suffered his first defeat when second to All Too Hard in the Caulfield Guineas and he again finished behind Black Caviar’s half brother when third in the Cox Plate won by Ocean Park.
Manighar, winner of the 2012 BMW (2400m) is also among the 63 nominations along with this year’s early Melbourne Cup favourite, Puissance de Lune, and the 2012 Cup runner-up Fiorente.
Victoria Derby winner Fiveandahalfstar is also in the mix. He begins his Australian Derby campaign in Saturday’s Autumn Stakes at Caulfield.
