Dyna Villa goes into Wednesday night's heats a raging hot favourite to capture the group 2 final and the $60,000 winner's purse.

The son of Collision sensationally took out the group 1 Melbourne Cup at Sandown on Friday night to collect a massive $420,000 in stakes.

Trained by Jenny Hunt at Lara, Dyna Villa flew out of box eight and was never headed.

Bad luck appears his only danger in the second of eight heats at Morshead Park.

He has drawn box three and it is difficult to see anything getting past Dyna Villa, which has $466,635 to his name from 14 career wins.

Luca Neveelk (trained by Gerald Kleeven in Gippsland) is most likely to lead the chasing pack.

Luca Neveelk won the group 2 Geelong Cup last month and then captured a Melbourne Cup heat.

He has an outstanding record of 22 wins in 28 visits to the races, but will need to improve markedly to get anywhere near Dyna Villa after his eighth in Melbourne Cup final.

With only the heat winners to progress to the final, Kleeven can consider himself unlucky to see his keen star in the same heat as Dyna Villa.

The first heat is the fifth event on the 12-race card tonight.

Napoleons trainer Stephen McKenna carries the hometown hopes with four heat runners.

Take Charge (heat 4) launches McKenna's bid and has to be some chance in the red going on his second to Dyna Villa in a Geelong Cup heat.

He has since had a win at The Meadows and then in his latest outing was fifth to Keybow in a Melbourne Cup heat.

In contrast the McKenna-trained Agent Jack will have top deal with the outside box in heat five.

Deadly Boy (heat six) is coming off a win at The Meadows for the kennel.

The Superman dog does have a tendency to mix his form.

He has won three of his four starts from box four, but his record over the distance on his home track is not as strong as it could be with just the two wins in seven tries.

McKenna's last starter is You Say Goodbye (heat seven) , which has not raced since August.

She is a consistent type, but this is a tough assignment off the back of a break.

You Say Goodbye contested last year's Ballarat Cup, but did not get beyond the heats.

Jason Thompson, who won last year's final with Ronan Izmir, has two heat runners - established stars Innocent Til and Whodat Knockin.

Each is returning from wrist injuries.

"They're both a bit underdone but they have been trialling well," Thompson said.

"I'm not sure if Innocent Til will come back as good as he was, but the only way to really find that out is by racing him," he said.
