Team Hall look as though they will take maximum points in the first heat with series second favourite Waylade, which has drawn ideally in barrier two in what on paper looks to be the weakest of the three heats.
Hall’s other runner Machtu has drawn one and a Hall quinella looks likely.
Heat Two looks like a Free For All at Melton with visitors Flaming Flutter, Lennytheshark, Major Crocker, Five Star Anvil and co.
Trainer of Major Crocker, Vince Vallelonga, announced that his hope will have a new driver with Greg Sugars committed to Flaming Flutter,Vallelonga will look to local knowledge with the appointment of Colin Brown to take the reins on the 21 dollar chance.
The final heat local hope Bettors Fire has drawn nicely in barrier two but will face a strong challenge from the Emma Stewart trained Philadelphia Man.
The support program looks a beauty with the running of the running of the 4yo Championship a lead up to the Group 1 Golden Nugget with the clash of Beaudiene Boaz and Victorian Menin Gate.
