Locally trained Willi Willi and Spunlago alongside Torgersen, King Of Camelot, Reserve Street, Prince Ziggy and Buena Veloz will also carry more than 54kg.
Wodonga trainer Craig Widdison will be aiming to have a three-pronged attack as his chases his first hometown feature with stable star Willi Willi alongside Ruby Skye and Wyangle.
Willi Willi will be out to emulate the Brian Cox-trained Ekalaka who is the most recent horse to capture both the Albury and Wodonga cups.
Widdison said the club would be delighted with the quality among the 27 nominations.
"I haven't had a thorough look but after a quick glance there is some handy gallopers nominated," Widdison said.
"Whether they all come now, that is yet to be determined.
"Willi Willi and Ruby Skye look guaranteed of gaining a start while Wyangle could be borderline."
Some of Victoria's biggest stables were among the entries including the training partnerships of Ciaron Maher and David Eustace, Mick Price and Michael Kent (Jnr) and Team Hayes.
Maher and Eustace nominated stablemates Reserve Street and Grand Crown.
Price and Kent have Starouz who is a last start Adelaide winner.
Team Hayes also have the sole entry with Free Fly Too.
