BALINOR (1) has been in solid form of late. Won on the flat at Moonee Valley two starts back then was only beaten 0.8 lengths when second in a hurdle (3200m) at Warrnambool last time out. On his best jumping form is sure to prove hard to beat. DANDRUFF (3) is taking on the jumps for a second time after failing to finish the race at his only attempt at this track back on July 21. Last appeared when ninth, beaten 6 lengths, on the flat over 2400m at Sandown-Lakeside. Likely to play a major role. HIGHNESS (5) is in tremendous form with back-to-back wins in flat races. Really impressed last time, scoring by 2.5 lengths at Terang over 3006m. Hard to beat again in this sort of form. VADARCHIE (11) has been racing on the flat recently. Unplaced two back then finished third last time at Bairnsdale over 2200m, beaten 0.8 lengths after racing just off the pace. Worth including.
