ICT is exempt from the ballot after winning at Ballarat
http://www.harnesslink.com/Australia...e-Vic-Cup-cut-
So who will miss out?
As the article states, 2 of the following are likely to miss out:
Restrepo, Franco Ledger, Lennytheshark, Suave Stuey Lombo, Avonova (but I am not sure that Im Corzin Terror should be on the 'given' list)

Yep ICT wins the Ballarat Cup and so guarantees himself a start. I'd think Restrepo, Lennytheshark and Franco Ledger will all start. Suave Stuey a bit unlucky to miss out. But so is Chilli Palmer. Such is the quality of the field that there will be some top-notch pacers on the sideline...
Is there a Cup consolation?? I agree with Cody re above 3 but that still leaves, as mentioned, Avonnova, Stuey, Chilli + the likes of Flaming Flutter, Maximan, Bit Of A Legend, Cold Major, Metro Mike, Smudge Bromac, Charlie Macsheen,........
Pretty sure that Maximan will be off the scene for a few months injured, Would love to see Lenny, Avonnova and Restrepo get the last 3 spots if #1 is correct and a Consolation would be a good race with some of the others that will miss out.
Of course, totally forgot about Andy Gaths tweet re the highs (SA Derby) & lows (Maximan pulling up sore) of his SA Cup night.
There would be a couple of others that I have missed to make a consolation race exciting, surely.
Imo Restrepo and Franco Ledger should get in based on winning country cups lately. Avonnoa gets in because he is the 5th highest earning horse this year and 5th on the grand circuit points tally, 2nd in a Grand Circuit race.
I pretty much agree with you Brendan, although the Hamilton Cup is only worth as much as a NSW M0. I think Lenny might be unlucky

Noms as of now (Monday) for the big one. Connections of Artoc perhaps hoping for a repeat of "Sulkygate" to get into this race.
Thought I read or heard somewhere that Lenny didn't qualify after a rough start in the shepparton cup
