DON HUGO (11) resumes from a spell of nine weeks after showing some very good form last campaign, the last run being a fourth over 2200m at Cambridge Raceway when trying to lead all of the way. Has to contend with a very wide draw abut is sure to be right there at the finish. MAJOR PERRY (4) comes here following a fourth behind Kingmaker at Listed level a week ago over 1609m at this track when sent out at long odd. Drawn well so a return to form will not surprise.

JAY OK (10) comes here following a ninth of 10 behind Kingmaker at Listed level a week ago over 1609m at this track afetr having little luck in the running.

Been racing well and showed plenty of improvement following May 17 run. Last start won by 2 m (Fr2) at this track (1:53.60) beating Skylord in NR up to 95 on May 31 at $13 at the bell was 2nd-2.83. This race will be harder than that win. Hard to have.

Two back was beaten by 7 m finishing fourth after being driven well back, behind Kanena Provlima at this track over 1609m in a No NR on May 17 at $4.60. Then a handy effort when a close second after being driven well back, behind Miki Pins at this track over 1609m in a NR up to 95 on May 24 at $5. Looks the testing material.
