An all-star cast of 23 Victorians descends upon Sydney for heats of the Group 1 National Derby (520m) and Group 1 National Futurity (520m) at Wentworth Park on Friday night.

And leading the charge of the 12-strong Vic brigade in the Derby is Simon Told Helen (pictured above), while Aston Silk heads the list of 11 fabulous femmes for Victoria in the Futurity.

In fact, recent G1 Silver Chief winner Simon Told Helen dominates TAB’s ‘All In’ market for the Derby final at $3.10, followed by Victorian counterparts Aston Wizard (who was runner-up in the Silver Chief), Fire Legend and Hard Style Rico.

Ironically, Simon Told Helen (Box 7) – $1.80F is pitted against ‘new kid on the block’ Hard Style Rico (Box 3) – $2.80 in Heat 2 of the Derby. (He also had Hard Style Rico’s measure in the Silver Chief.)

And in the Futurity, Aston Silk is the ‘All In’ equal favourite at $6.00. She has so much X-factor, being undefeated from only three starts – all at Sandown.

Aston Silk (Box 1) – $1.85F is engaged in Heat 3 of the Futurity.
