Superstar Kiwi jockey James McDonald has been confirmed to partner her, choosing the daughter of Zoustar over stablemate Lady Shenandoah.
Former New Zealand-trained sprinter Jimmysstar, who is still part-owned here, is the $9 third favourite even after drawing barrier 11, which may not be a disaster as he tends to get back in his races.
The field for the A$20million Everest to be run at Randwick on Saturday is:-
1: Ka Ying Rising (barrier 7)
2: Briasa (10)
3: Overpass (9)
4: Jimmysstar (11)
5: War Machine (4)
6: Mazu (2)
7: Jedibeel (8)
8: Angel Capital (3)
