BALINOR (1) is ready for his second crack over the sticks. He's had four flat runs and won a 70 at Moonee Valley, over 3000m at the latest. He went well in a hurdle trial since, and is likely to go close. LOFT (4) has won two Group 2s overseas, but hasn't reached those heights in Australia. He resumes after switching to Shane Jackson and has looked good winning three hurdle trials. He has the class and looks ready to go. WHISKEY TANGO (7) has prepared with three flat runs, and earlier in the year, he placed in a Cranbourne Maiden hurdle. HEZAFOX (3) comfortably won a hurdle trial in preparation for this and he deserves consideration on that effort. SUGGESTED PLAY: Leaning to Balinor.
