Humidor is one of twelve stayers Weir has left in contention for the Caulfield Cup with the others headed up by Japanese import Admire Deus, Gailo Chop and Guardini.
The powerful Lindsay Park Team of David and Ben Hayes and Tom Dabernig also have a strong contingent of ten gallopers among the 1st acceptances.
Harlem looks the number one pick at the moment after receiving a 0.5kg penalty for the Caulfield Cup for his win in the Group 3 $150,000 Bendigo Bank East Malvern MRC Foundation Cup (Naturalism Stakes) (2000m) at Caulfield last Saturday.
The James Cummings trained Hartnell and stablemate Tally are the only two from the Godolphin stable left in contention for the Caulfield Cup.
Hartnell is well in the mix for the Caulfield Cup and will be putting his credentials on the line this weekend when he steps out in the Group 1 $750,000 Hyland Race Colours Underwood Stakes (1800m) at Caulfield on Sunday.
Kiwis Gingernuts, Jon Snow, Bonneval and Lizzie L’Amour are also among the 1st acceptances for the 2017 Caulfield Cup.
