Form comment: Has been just fair at recent runs and this is not any easier. He's probably past his best and it's hard to see him in the finish here.  

Form comment: Broke in the Echuca Pacing Cup and didn't have much luck in running after recovering. This will be his third run since the 2013 Wedderburn Cup success. On class he's a must-include runner here from a handy barrier draw. 

Form comment: Stawell and Wangaratta Cup runner-up within past five starts. Last time out was third in the Echuca Pacing Cup. His last victory came in the St Arnaud Pacing Cup. He went within 2.3m of Smudge Bromac at Echuca and his form is good enough to see him a major player here. Include.

Form comment: Not racing well enough. 

Form comment: Ran a big race in the Echuca Pacing Cup but didn't fire a shot behind Mister Livan at Melton last start. He's a brilliant sit-sprinter who could bounce back with the right run.
 

Form comment: Globe Derby winner last start. This is clearly a step up in grade but you always have to respect the stable in these parts. The barrier doesn't help his cause but if he steps cleanly he might run into a place.

Form comment: Sydneysider who at his best would be right in the mix however he is racing a touch below that form at the minute. Has a good record from the stand-start and you always have to respect the Turnbull team. 

Form comment: Aside from his Boort Cup error he's been in terrific form in stand-start races. This is a step up in grade, but with a soft run could run into the exotics.

Form comment: Big run at Boort last time out when worked hard. Previous win at Horsham was solid and looks a gelding with plenty of upside. Should figure in the finish here.

Form comment: Country Cups specialist who had a dynamic season last year but has struggled a little to replicate that this time around. But Gavin Lang is back aboard and you know at his best he'd be right in the finish. Value hope?

Form comment: Honest customer who can race up on the speed or off it depending on the tempo. Hitting the line well last time out  in the Echuca Cup and should again be taking ground off them late. Kerryn Manning back aboard. 

Form comment: He's always promised plenty and may be just starting to deliver. Admittedly he had the right run at Melton last time out but was still very good late. The Arden Rooney form is golden!
