Verry Elleegant, Anamoe and Zaaki have all been confirmed for the $4 million Queen Elizabeth Stakes, completing a star-studded lineup at Tuesday morning's barrier draw.

Chris Waller's superstar mare drew barrier seven, while the Rosehill Guineas winner Anamoe will jump from barrier five in the famous 2000m race. 

All-Star Mile winner Zaaki has drawn barrier three, while the in-form Duais will overcome the widest gate in barrier nine. 

Also included in the small field are Group 1 winners I'm Thunderstruck, Think It Over and Montefilia.
