Tasmanian galloper The Cleaner has topweight of 60kg for Saturday's Listed Winter Championship Final at Flemington.

A last-start Moonee Valley winner, the Mick Burles-trained The Cleaner is one of 22 nominations for the feature race on Finals Day.

Mick Price has three entries in the $150,000 race over 1600m with Dany The Fox (59kg), Eximius (54.5kg) and Fast And Free (54kg) while Chris Waller has four nominations.

Said Com is 16th in the ballot while Bagman, Eigelstein and Fulgur are 20th, 21st and 22nd respectively with a field limit of 16 plus four emergencies.

That trio is also nominated for a 1600m race in Sydney.

The Winter Championship Final is one of four Listed races on the program along with the All Victorian Sprint Series Final, the Taj Rossi Series Final and the A R Creswick Series Final.

Akavoroun, winner of five of his six starts including a heat of the Winter Championship last time out at Flemington on June 28, is also among the entries for the main race.

The $120,000 Banjo Paterson Series Final over 2600m has attracted 23 nominations including Sea King, winner of the Lafferty Hurdle at Warrnambool on June 29, and his Patrick Payne-trained stablemate Krase, second to champion Bashboy in the Thackeray Steeple on the same day.
