Will Hulbert has Melbourne Cup dream for ex-Ciaron Maher import Dillian
'He is bouncing around like a prize fighter, with belts hanging off his shoulders.' So quips Brisbane trainer Will Hulbert about the refreshed confidence of one-time European import Dillian, who has put two thumping wins on the board since the stayer arrived in Brisbane. Irish-bred Dillian started his racing journey in Europe before being sent to Ciaron Maher in Victoria who couldn't get a win out of him. His owners sent him north for a change of scenery and it has paid dividends so far with Will Hulbert and his dad Peter training him to a pair of confidence boosting wins. Dillian now steps up to the big league to tackle the Group 3 Queen Elizabeth II Cup (2400m) which will be raced at Eagle Farm on Saturday and has been rebadged from being previously raced as the Premier's Cup. Dillian is a $10 chance but Will Hulbert is convinced he can give the race a mighty shake and then he could even dare to dream of a fairytale Melbourne Cup mission in the spring. Dillian does the punters proud, dominating Race 2 at Eagle Farm! @HulbertRacing — SKY Racing (@SkyRacingAU) April 26, 2025 • 'The confidence he has taken from his first (Brisbane) win to his second win, and even since then, is amazing,' Hulbert said of the six-year-old gelded son of Camelot. 'He is bouncing around like a prize fighter with belts hanging off his shoulders. 'He thinks he is the man. 'We are dreaming about winning a Melbourne Cup, although you don't really think someone from Brisbane can do it. 'But it would definitely start to come on the radar if he won well on Saturday and then went to the Brisbane Cup (3200m) and performed there too. 'They did it last year with (Queenslander) Knight's Choice last year, didn't they?' • Hi Barbie plans hinge on Sires' Produce showing Hulbert revealed how jockey Martin Harley, a former Irishman, had extreme confidence in Dillian. Harley had originally planned to ride him a kilogram over, at 55kg, on Saturday. But after partnering him in an impressive gallop last Saturday, Harley vowed he would get down to 54.5kg (half a kilogram over) for Saturday's assignment. 'Martin is over the moon with him and he doesn't ride at 54.5kg very often,' Hulbert said. 'This horse was an import, the owners paid a bit of money for him and a few others. 'He wasn't quite measuring up in Melbourne, so they thought they would send him up to Queensland to earn some prizemoney. 'We started him in a low grade race first-up and he got confidence out of that and took that into his next start where he beat better horses. 'He is just a natural stayer, with a stayers like him you don't have to waste three or four runs getting him fit and getting to a certain distance.' Meanwhile, Hulbert is tipping a vastly improved performance from two-year-old colt Thee Creek in Saturday's $1m BRC Sires' Produce Stakes (1400m). Thee Creek is an $81 chance in the Sires' after being beaten six length in the Spirit Of Boom Classic but Hulbert said the colt hated the heavy Doomben surface that day. 'He couldn't pick his feet up in the race the other day, his stride length was 50cm shorter than normal,' Hulbert said. 'He just couldn't stretch out in the testing ground and he is a much better horse than that. 'He couldn't handle the heavy at Doomben, it was quite bottomless and he couldn't really get though it.'

Top Tools for Efficient PDF Data Extraction
Unlock the power of data extraction with these top tools for efficient PDF analysis. As businesses increasingly rely on digital documents, PDFs have become a standard format for sharing and storing important information. However, extracting data from these files can be a tedious and time-consuming task. That's where these cutting-edge tools come in. In this article, we explore the top tools for efficient PDF data extraction. Read on. Tabula – Best for Table Extraction Tabula is one of the most popular open-source tools for extracting tabular data from PDFs. It's incredibly user-friendly and doesn't require programming knowledge. Users simply upload a PDF, select the area of the table, and export it to a CSV or Excel file. Tabula features a lightweight, browser-based interface that is fast and intuitive. It's particularly ideal for researchers, journalists, and data analysts who work with structured table data in PDFs. However, Tabula works only with native PDFs and does not support scanned or image-based documents. It also lacks built-in batch processing capabilities, which could limit its usefulness for high-volume tasks. Adobe Acrobat Pro DC – Best All-in-One Commercial Tool Adobe Acrobat Pro DC is the industry standard for handling PDFs and offers robust data extraction capabilities. It allows users to convert PDFs to Excel, Word, or plain text formats with ease. One of its key strengths is its built-in Optical Character Recognition (OCR), which enables extraction from scanned documents. Professionals appreciate Adobe Acrobat Pro DC for its accurate OCR, batch conversion options, and seamless integration with other Adobe tools. On the downside, the software can be expensive, especially for occasional users. As a commercial solution, it also lacks the openness of free or open-source alternatives. PDFTables – Best for API Integration PDFTables is a web-based tool and API service that converts PDF tables into Excel, CSV, or XML formats. It is especially useful for developers who want to integrate PDF data extraction into their applications. The platform offers a REST API that supports automated workflows and is known for its high accuracy in converting structured tables. However, users should note that the cost can increase significantly with large volumes of data. Additionally, as a cloud-based service, PDFTables requires an active internet connection to function. Camelot – Best Python Library for Developers Camelot is a Python library designed to extract tables from PDFs. It is best suited for developers, programmers, and data scientists who are comfortable writing code and using development environments. Camelot can extract tables with precision using two modes- ' lattice' for PDFs with borders and 'stream' for those without. It integrates well with Jupyter Notebooks and can export extracted data to pandas DataFrames, Excel, or CSV formats. While powerful, Camelot has a steep learning curve and is not user-friendly for those unfamiliar with Python. It also doesn't support scanned documents unless OCR has already been applied. Docparser – Best for Custom Workflows Docparser is a web-based solution tailored for businesses that need to extract structured data from recurring document types such as invoices, contracts, and shipping labels. It allows users to define custom parsing rules and automate workflows. The tool comes with prebuilt templates for common documents and integrates smoothly with services like: Zapier Dropbox Google Sheets Despite its strengths, Docparser may require some initial setup for more complex documents. Its subscription-based pricing model may also be a consideration for smaller organizations. ABBYY FineReader – Best for OCR Accuracy ABBYY FineReader is well-known for its highly accurate OCR capabilities and supports over 190 languages. It's ideal for turning scanned PDFs into editable and searchable documents. The software is praised for retaining document layouts accurately during conversion and offers batch processing and automation features. However, ABBYY FineReader is relatively costly, especially for smaller businesses or individual users. Its scripting and customization features are also more limited compared to some developer-focused tools. PDFMiner & PyMuPDF – Best for Full-Text Extraction in Python PDFMiner and PyMuPDF (also known as fitz) are powerful Python libraries focused on extracting raw text, metadata, and layout information from PDFs. They are particularly well-suited for text-heavy documents and unstructured data analysis. These libraries provide access to: font position layout data It makes them ideal for advanced natural language processing or machine learning workflows. While they offer deep customization options, they are not the best fit for extracting tabular data. Their use requires significant programming knowledge, making them less accessible to non-technical users. Smallpdf – Best for Quick, Simple Tasks Smallpdf is a cloud-based platform designed for users who need to perform quick, straightforward conversions and data extraction tasks. Its drag-and-drop interface is intuitive and does not require any installation. Users benefit from its simplicity, fast performance, and support for OCR and multiple export formats. That said, Smallpdf limits the number of free uses per day, which may be a constraint for frequent users. It lacks advanced features and isn't suitable for bulk processing. Nanonets – Best for AI-Powered Extraction Nanonets offers AI-powered document data extraction that's especially useful for non-standard or highly variable document formats. It uses machine learning to extract key-value pairs, tables, and freeform data by training custom models. The platform excels in intelligent document processing, providing features such as OCR with context-aware AI and robust API integration for enterprises. However, getting the best accuracy often requires training the models. Also, the cost can be higher compared to traditional rule-based systems. Apryse Apryse is a powerful PDF data extraction tool that simplifies the task of extracting data from PDF documents. With Apryse, users can easily extract text, tables, images, and other data from PDFs with just a few clicks.
