HILLTOP HUGH (1) is a four-year-old gelding from the C W Lang, S L Mahar yard on debut. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Has strong trial form coming into this. Likely to attract plenty of interest from punters. RASENGAN (6) has been in the placings two times from as many appearances this prep. Finished third at Ararat two starts back then did a great job again at his latest appearance over 2200m at at Horsham, beaten 16 metres into third after being handy all the way. Good enough to put himself in the winners' stall. GIANVITO (13) should be ready to peak now after finishing fourth over 1690m at Kilmore two weeks ago. Expect him to give this a real shake. ALABAMA MAY (3) is the best of the rest after finishing runner-up when resuming over 1690m at Kilmore last time out.
