Weir has also nominated Lucky Paddy, ahead of acceptances on Wednesday for the 1590m event.

“Profit Share has been disappointing in his last couple of runs,” Weir said.

“He ran fourth in the Donald Cup and before that was fourth in the Horsham Cup.

“He was a little bit unlucky at Horsham, getting into a tricky spot, but wasn’t up to it at Donald.”

The five-year-old has won five of 26 starts, racking up $322,200 in prizemoney.

“He’s been OK, but his form has slipped,” Weir said.

“If he’s in top form, he should be a place-getter.”

Wodonga has landed its man after making the historic 2015 Melbourne Cup winner, with Prince of Penzance and jockey Michelle Payne, its priority.

The Ballarat trainer said he’s previously had a runner in the Cup, but it was at least a decade ago.

Weir, who trained 348 winners last season, had four runners nominated for the Jack Maher Classic on July 31, but the meeting was abandoned due to wet weather.

Profit Share will carry 54.5kgs, while Lucky Paddy is at 54.

Weir headlines a number of top trainers who’ve nominated for the $110,000 race, which is the richest mile race across the state leading up to, and including, the weekend.

It’s also the first time Wodonga has broken the six-figure barrier.

Tony McEvoy has nominated 2015 Albury Gold Cup winner Kourkam, while David Hayes has two contenders, Mihany and Tashbeeh, which will carry 60.5kgs.

Last year’s inaugural meet on a Friday attracted a crowd of more than 6000, and the forecast of a sunny 24 degrees should guarantee another bumper turnout.
