The biggest loser? Michael Rodd, currently enjoying a short break in Rockhampton, is on a weight-loss program in the hope that the Bart Cummings trained Faint Perfume, a Grp 1 winner, will receive at least 53.5kgs, which will allow him to ride her in the Coolmore on Saturday.

Stathi Katsidis believes the clash of his Magic Millions winner Military Rose and Solar Charged at Rosehill on Saturday will decide the favourite for next month's $3.5 million Golden Slipper, but the Queenslander may be watching it from the sidelines. Katsidis believes the two unbeaten fillies are ''a cog above'' their fellow juveniles and the jockey is confident Military Rose has an edge (www.smh.com.au). Katsidis, who won the Randwick Guineas on Shoot Out on Saturday, was suspended at Eagle Farm on Friday until March 26 and is considering an appeal. A failed appeal would rule him out of Rosehill Guineas day, where he would miss riding Shoot Out, and possibly the Golden Slipper.
