More Than Great is out of the Group Two Premiere Stakes at Rosehill with trainer David Payne opting to run him against his own age group in The Run To The Rose on Saturday.

Golden Slipper winner Phelan Ready is the $2.70 favourite on TAB Sportsbet in the new market framed following the withdrawal of More Than Great from the weight-for-age 1200-metre feature.

Phelan Ready was at $3.20 with More Than Great in the field.

"It would have been too much to ask him to take on those older horses," Payne said.

"But he's well and will tackle the three-year-olds."

Payne's decision was expected with the Premiere Stakes not known as a good race for three-year-olds with Integra the last one to win it in 1990.

One trainer not overly concerned about tackling three-year-olds in the race is Anthony Cummings who trains proven weight-for-age performer Turffontein.

Five-year-old Turffontein ($8.50) comes into the race first-up after his sixth to Mufhasa in the Group One Telegraph Handicap in New Zealand in January.

Prior to that he finished a half-length second to Swick in the Group One weight-for-age Patinack Classic (1200m) at Flemington in November.

"The question is whether the three-year-olds make the step up to weight-for-age," Cummings said.

"Turffontein has already shown himself capable at weight-for-age at Group One level, maybe the others are up to the standard or maybe they're not.

"He's certainly not without a chance and we're looking at the race as not only one he can win but also a springboard to something bigger later on."

Cummings has been pleased with Turffontein who has one placing from two first-up runs.

"He did a bit of work at Caulfield for eight weeks and had a couple of jumpouts and has gone well in each of them, and showed improvement each time too," Cummings said.

"There's no doubt there's upside to him."

The Cummings-trained Solo Flyer came close as a three-year-old when he finished second to German Chocolate two years ago.

"Not many have taken the race on because you have all of those other three-year-old races to take on," Cummings said.

The winner of last year's Premiere, Triple Honour, is at $5 with TAB Sportsbet.

The Chris Waller-trained Triple Honour is having his first race since running fourth to Scenic Shot in the Doomben Cup (2020m) in May.

Another experienced horse in the market for the Premiere is the Kris Lees-trained Fritz's Princess ($4) who is coming off an unlucky fourth to Teasing in the Missile Stakes (1100m) at Rosehill on August 1.

The seven-year-old has pleased Lees since the run and reunites with Jim Cassidy who rode the mare to victory in the Group Two The Shorts (1100m) at Randwick in October last year.
