Up Hill Jill remains the top pick for 2017 Easter Egg

2017 Golden Easter Egg box draw
Box draw for the 2017 Group 1 Golden Easter Egg.

UP Hill Jill remains the favourite to win the Group 1 Golden Easter Egg (520m) with most bookmakers ahead of the $250,000 to the winner final on Saturday night at .

The Victorian bitch is the fastest qualifier for the feature, having clocked a 29.63 in her semi-final last weekend. A winner of three from four over the track and trip, the daughter of Premier Fantasy and Where's Demonica is suitably drawn in box two and should be leading for a long way if she can repeat her 5.36 first section from last week.

Best rated to beat the favourite is fellow Victorian which will exit box seven on Saturday night. The Brett Bravo trained bitch is already a group 1 winner over the track and trip at Wentworth Park and will be looking to take her career earnings above $380,000 if she is successful in the lucrative decider.

will be represented by two runners in the final, with Big Flood (box four) and (box six) both given a chance by punters. Whilst Aqua Cheetah is the Group 1 winner, most of the support will be for Big Flood which has stamped himself as one of the most exciting pups in the country throughout his short 18-start career.

Lucky Chap (box three) rounds out the Victorian contenders for this year's Easter Egg for Anthony . The son of Brett Lee and Cawbourne Whip is an absolute flying machine but will have to do everything right drawn amongst a stack of pace.

Best of the local hopes is off the cherry, with the black speedster owning a 29.78 personal best over the track and trip. His best attribute is his early speed which is sure to put him in contention for a long way.

Lagoon Jazzy (box eight) and (box five) are both big odds due to their awkward draws, however both ran good races in their semi-finals.
