Whistlefield looks brilliantly placed here second up. The Tom Dabernig trained mare was narrowly beaten first up at Warrnambool by a stablemate but gets ideal conditions here, especially that she has draw 14 while her key rival Greatham Boy is in barrier 1. Linda Meech can use her early speed to take up a dominant position and get to the better ground.
Recommended Price: $2.50
Confidence Level: 4.5/5

This race is the famous Drought Breaker maiden which runs a reverse ballot order so it’s as weak a race as you’ll find. Henry’s Faith looks a likely candidate. The mare has just been switched into the stable of Steve Theodore who is absolutely flying at present. Her form immediately prior was good enough to be competitive here so if Theodore has improved her at all, look out.

Bannerton backs up here two days after finishing midfield in the BM64 over the same 2400m journey. He didn’t have much chance there in a race dominated by those on speed and there is nothing like a two day backup to make a horse find a new level. In this small field he will be the fittest and is capable of causing the upset.
Recommended Price: $5.00

The Fortune Teller looks great value in this year’s Swan Hill Cup. The gelding should be ready to fire third up from a long spell and gets ideal conditions with the cut out of the track and is suited by the barrier draw. A Group winner at three, his best form is certainly good enough.
