October Hill sits just a couple of pounds behind the top-rated Broken Ice on our figures, but it is a progressive profile that makes this one compelling at this distance over good ground at Perth, with the expectation of more to come from the horse. Broken Ice heads the ratings and cannot be discounted, while Drumlee Myth and Dolly Dior are closely matched on 106 and both represent live dangers in an open contest. With the caveat that this is a competitive eleven-runner field, October Hill is preferred for his upward trajectory, and the selection is October Hill.
