From the stables: Who to follow on day two of the May carnival?

Wilde's stable foreman Liam Hoy gives a great inside into their chances.

JUST A REBEL: He's a nice horse who has been a slow maturer. He'll be better in his next preparation but may be a rough place hope here.

WEIGHTMAN: Been freshened up and has blinkers off. Got a sneaky chance.

COTTON EYE JOE: Chances will increase if we get rain.

ELVISON: Open field. We liked his trial last week around Warrnambool. He likes wet ground.

UNDER THE BRIDGE: Liked his win on the flat before putting in a nice steeplechase trial last week. He should run well.

McKEEVER: Consistent performer who has drawn a tricky gate but he should still run well.

INN KEEPER: Won the race last year. Had the one run back in from a spell. Rough chance at nice odds.

HUMBLE PIE: Bit worried about the inside barrier.

BEST FROM THE WILDE STABLE: We really like McKeever. He's a consistent galloper who gives 100 per cent in his races.

Lindsey Smith says he's hoping for better performances from his runners.

VAN SCOTIA: May need this run but shows ability.

YELLOW SAM: Has natural speed and has been working well.

STAR KILLER: Hoping for a wet track which will suit.

ELECTRIC LADY: Another of mine that needs wet ground.

CONTINUANCE: Won at the carnival last year.

GREAT AGAIN: In the twilight of his career. Probably not good enough.

WILLIAM THOMAS: Better run than it looked last time. Will need the speed on.

MYSTERY SHOT: Wet tracker.

TRIPLE MISSILE: He's the best of my lot in the Wangoom.

KNOCK KNOCK: Should travel on the speed and travels well on any ground.

GONNADANCEALOT: This is her pet distance. Each-way chance.

HARD QUESTIONS: Up-and-comer. Drawn a wide gate but has the services of Ollie which is a bonus.

BEST FROM THE SMITH STABLE: Triple Missile, he'll be hard to beat.
