The feelgood story of the Golden Slipper has continued with Chance Bye coming up with barrier three in Saturday's $3.5 million showpiece at Rosehill.

The filly, who cost just $15,000 as a yearling, has held off all comers in her three-start career thrusting knockabout trainer Michael Tubman into the limelight.

Chance Bye will be ridden by Kathy O'Hara who was taking everything in her stride as Tubman cut a nervous figure at Tuesday's barrier draw as part-owner Jack Knight reached forward to choose a miniature slipper with a number on the bottom.

When he saw the number was three, Tubman's trademark smile returned but he admitted he was still nervous about the race.

"I get nervous before every race but I'll take a couple of valium as I normally do," Tubman said.

"Kathy came down to ride her at Kembla Grange this morning and the filly worked really well.

"The barrier is good, everything is good."

Unbeaten Queensland filly Military Rose remains favourite after drawing barrier eight with trainer Gillian Heinrich relaxed about the occasion.

"I was nervous about the barrier draw but the barrier is good and everything is good with the filly," Heinrich said.

"She's happy in herself and still maintaining her weight. It's the same as it was on Magic Millions day which is a great thing for a two-year-old.

"She has taken everything in her stride and is very relaxed."

Not quite as happy and relaxed was David Hayes who drew the outside gate 15 for Shaaheq.

Hayes has just returned from Dubai where Eagle Falls ran fifth in the Golden Shaheen at Saturday's World Cup meeting.

"It's a bit disappointing and it's a bit of a concern how many on-pace runners are winning on the track," he said.

"Her pattern is to get back and come home fast."

Rain is forecast in Sydney for the next few days, adding to the intrigue with most of the 15 runners inexperienced on wet tracks.

The proven runner is Military Rose who won her third start on a slow track at Doomben on Boxing Day.

"She is versatile, the track doesn't seem to worry her," Heinrich said.

Gai Waterhouse's runners had mixed fortunes with Brightexpectations to jump from four and More Strawberries from 14.

But the three-time Slipper-winning trainer had positives for both.

"I'm delighted (with the draw)," she said.

"One of them will be out of the scrimmage and the other will be fighting away frantically."

Brightexpectations gained an automatic start with victory in Saturday's Pago Pago Stakes while More Strawberries finished second in the Magic Night and owner John Singleton had to sweat on the attrition rate for her to gain a start.

Corey Brown was booked to ride the filly but was in doubt after a fall at Warwick Farm on Tuesday.

Waterhouse named Damien Oliver as his replacement with Oliver also named as a possible rider for Georgette Silk should Glen Boss fail in an appeal against a careless riding suspension.

Former favourite Solar Charged, who ran third to Military Rose two weeks ago, will start from gate 13 but trainer John O'Shea put a positive spin on the draw.

"I don't think it's that bad," he said.

"The rail is out five metres which is a fair way. It may be wet and could deteriorate so I don't think it will be a disadvantage.

"She's doing great. Barriers are not a big deal with her, she's got good gate speed and wherever she drew she was probably going to be outside the leader."
