Buoyed by Shoot Out's Royal Sovereign Stakes victory, trainer John Wallace has paid the $5,500 late entry fee to put the three-year-old in the Doncaster Mile.

The Queensland raider came with a late rush to nail More Than Ready in the Royal Sovereign (1200m) and lines up for round two in Saturday's Hobartville Stakes (1400m) at Rosehill.

Wallace's original plan was to set Shoot Out on the path towards the AJC Australian Derby (2400m) but he decided the Doncaster late payment was an investment worth making after the gelding's explosive win.

"I think he is a stayer but after the race Kerrin McEvoy told me he thought he might be a bit brilliant and when people like that talk, you listen," Wallace said.

"Shoot Out has done really well in the past week so I paid the late fee today.

"We can make the decision on the Doncaster after the Randwick Guineas, or even the Rosehill Guineas."

McEvoy picked up the ride on Shoot Out in the Royal Sovereign when Stathi Katsidis was ruled out with a knee injury.

"Stathi will be back on him on Saturday," Wallace said.

"The horse has improved and I can't see any reason why he won't perform just as well again."

The Royal Sovereign was run on a slow track but Wallace said Shoot Out was just as effective on dry with the addition of pacifiers making a difference.

"They have definitely helped him," he said.

There were 16 entries for the Hobartville including fellow Queenslander Sweepstaking who ran third to More Joyous in the Light Fingers Stakes.

More Than Great is also there along with Viking Legend and Delago Bolt who finished third and fourth in the Royal Sovereign.

Manhattan Rain was the odds-on favourite and ran on late for fifth after rearing when the barriers opened.

He is also nominated for the Hobartville after undergoing a remedial session at Randwick.

"On Friday morning Bernie Evans, the AJC official starter, and the barrier boys loaded Manhattan Rain into the barriers," trainer Gai Waterhouse reported on her website.

"He had a good look around with his ears pricked and stood in the barriers for a minute and a half before the back gates were opened and he was backed out."

The half brother to Redoute's Choice could then head to the Australian Guineas and a clash with Denman if he redeems himself in the Hobartville.
