Breednet - Thursday August 3

Early money suggests that a Lloyd Williams and Robert Hickmott trained runner will be hard to beat first-up in The Nursery Open Handicap (2000m).

Aloft proved too strong last time first-up over 1800m at Flemington and has firmed from as much as $5.50 into a top price of $4.60.

The six-year-old has drawn barrier seven and Ben Melham will take the ride.
