Hot Talk

Form comment: Won first-up over at the track last time in and has a good fresh record overall. Beaten 1.2 lengths at Kilcoy last start but will appreciate a drop in weight here.

Trainer comment: She gets some big weight relief coming back from Kilcoy and has been freshened- up after a hard run. I am happy with how she is going. The 1300m is a good distance for her. If she had drawn an alley I would have been confident, but this (gate 11) makes it tricky.

Gully Command

Form comment: Consistent and well-travelled 7-year-old gelding. First up record is just and this is not his ideal distance. Keep an eye on the weather as he would appreciate any sting out of the ground.

Trainer comment: He has been flying actually and trialed really well. He’s just a good, tough old horse and every time he runs is thereabouts. He has been a ripper horse for me. I’m not sure whether he can beat Hard Stride (#1) but my guy is an old warrior and will give a sight.
