LORD GOLDBERG (9) has been mixing the disciplines recently. Unplaced two back on the flat then filled a minor prize last start in a hurdle (3250m) at Ballarat Synthetic, beaten 2.25 lengths. Recent form suggests a big run is on the cards. ALAKAHAN (3) returns from a 269-day spell and has switched to the Steven Pateman yard. Concluded the last campaign finishing fifth (3400m) at Sandown-Lakeside, beaten 22 lengths. More than capable jumper. Sure to be primed and expected to be hard to beat. PRISMATIC (1) finished second two back in a hurdle (3200m) at this track. Couldn't emulate that effort last time out, beaten 15 lengths into fourth in a hurdle (3200m) at Pakenham. Cannot be dismissed. NELSON (2) returns from a 414-day spell. Hasn't raced since he came down (3450m) at this track. More than capable jumper. Sure to acquit himself well.
