One has to carry topweight and the other has the widest barrier draw, but trainer Leon Corstens still has high hopes for his two runners in the Wangoom Handicap at Warrnambool on Wednesday.

Corstens and his son Troy will saddle topweight Tried And Tired who will lump 60kg in the 1200m race on Wednesday with stablemate General Groove jumping from the widest draw in the field of 16 plus one emergency.

Leon Corstens says both horses go into the race in good order although he is concerned with the weight with Tried And Tired and the barrier with General Groove.

Tried And Tired was a winner of the Christmas Stakes at Sandown last December and returned from a break with a good fourth behind Politeness at Caulfield on April 18.

"He's weighted right up to his very best," Corstens said.

"The 60 kilos is a lot of weight and he will want a lot of luck in running with that weight, but I can't fault him.

"He had a trial at Kyneton on Friday which I thought was really good."

General Groove was successful at Flemington on Melbourne Cup day last year before being narrowly defeated in Group Three company at Sandown.

He followed up with a sixth placing behind Rudy in the Villiers Stakes at Randwick in December.

Corstens said General Groove had improved on his first-up eighth at Flemington on April 11.

"They didn't go that hard and then they left him flat-footed at the finish," Corstens said.

"He only finished about three lengths off the winner but I was very happy with him.

"The rise to 1200 metres will also be a bonus."

Both gallopers have been nominated for races Brisbane including the Doomben 10,000 on May 23 and the Stradbroke Handicap on June 6 and Corstens said Tried And Tired was the more likely to head north.

"We've entered for both and I think the handicap conditions of the Stradbroke will be better for him," Corstens said.

"He'll probably only get 50 kilos and that will be a big difference for him."
