Schillaci has been a superstar of the sport over the past few years and he returned to his best last start at Ballarat.
The son of Hard Style Rico powered home in the 450m contest to win in a sizzling 24.99 seconds.
That was his first run back from a short break so he’ll take a fitness benefit from the hit out.
He’s a regular in Group 1 races so looks well placed here.
Matt Loch was sensational when winning over 460m here last start.
The son of Aussie Infrared exploded out of the boxes to lead easily before dashing clear to win by 7.5 lengths in a best of the night 25.21 seconds.
While his past three races have been over a shorter sprint, he won’t mind stepping up to this distance given he won over 515m at Sandown just five starts ago in 29.33 seconds.
He should get on the arm and prove hard to catch.
Vincent Bale is a talented chaser who is a regular feature in Group 1 finals.
The Christo Bale chaser was last seen powering home to win over 515m at Sandown in 29.38 seconds.
Prior to that he had won heats of the G1 Perth Cup and G1 Australian Cup before finishing fourth and third respectively in those finals.
The vacant box beside him helps and he has won four of seven starts from box 4.
Colac Kid returns to Victoria after a luckless run in a heat of the Golden Easter Egg at Wentworth Park last start.
The son of Fernando Bale had been flying before that with three wins from four starts including back-to-back wins at The Meadows in a best of the night 29.59 seconds and at Sandown in 29.29 seconds.
On his best jump he can find the rail from box 2 and prove hard to run down.
