Highlad went forward at Flemington but trainer Murray Baker will not weigh Oliver down with instructions on Saturday. Highlad has had only three starts and also drew out when he won the Wanganui Guineas before heading to Melbourne. Highlad is as short as $10 on some markets for the Victoria Derby (2500m) at Flemington on October 29 and another good run would confirm he was on target. He coped with a good track at Flemington but would be suited by the jar being out of the track. The other New Zealand-trained runners at Caulfield will be Fanatic (Caulfield Cup), Blizzard (Coongy Cup) and Shillelagh (Tristarc Stakes).
