Robert Heathcote's gelding is in good form having led and fought well to go under narrowly last start after winning two of his previous three starts.
The Big Goodbye is building a good record at this distance and a positive speed map should see him hard to run down.
A strong first up effort in Sydney sees the Kris Lees-trained Hype as an each way prospect in the prior race.
He was first up for close to nine months when 2.6L away over 1200m at Warwick Farm and will be improved by that hitout.
He is proven second up and won his only attempt at this longer trip.
