HACHERT has run twice over course and distance and run well on each occasion. Despite racing keenly, he had previous winner Lagenda well behind when opening his account last time and there is no reason not to expect further improvement. Alioski need to find more for the step up in trip and Jessie Allan has never won over a trip this far. Big City was third over a mile at Hamilton last time and this easy 7f may not play to his strengths.
