Race comment
DON HUGO (10) has really emerged this time in work and was terrific through the Brisbane carnival where he was a brave and luckless second in the G1 Rising Sun before beating older rivals from the back row last start. That was over 2680m so he is tough and he owns a good record at this distance. Freshened since but was kept up to the mark with two trial wins. Big chance with even luck from the wide draw. Boom WA pacer NEVER ENDING (14) arrived with a terrific strike rate and was a real eye-catcher in his first local run when steaming home for second from the widest barrier. Draws out there again but with even luck class could get him home. SURE THING CAPTAIN (5) has led to win his last two starts and draws to push forward again so could prove hard to catch. WISPER A SECRET (6) beat Don Hugo in winning the Rising Sun and draws better than when third to Sure Thing Captain last week. Contender. EYE KEEP SMILING (4) has a strong record at this distance and draws well so is worth including.

Race comment
DON HUGO (10) has really emerged this time in work and was terrific through the Brisbane carnival where he was a brave and luckless second in the G1 Rising Sun before beating older rivals from the back row last start. That was over 2680m so he is tough and he owns a good record at this distance. Freshened since but was kept up to the mark with two trial wins. Big chance with even luck from the wide draw. Boom WA pacer NEVER ENDING (14) arrived with a terrific strike rate and was a real eye-catcher in his first local run when steaming home for second from the widest barrier. Draws out there again but with even luck class could get him home. SURE THING CAPTAIN (5) has led to win his last two starts and draws to push forward again so could prove hard to catch. WISPER A SECRET (6) beat Don Hugo in winning the Rising Sun and draws better than when third to Sure Thing Captain last week. Contender. EYE KEEP SMILING (4) has a strong record at this distance and draws well so is worth including.

Race comment
DON HUGO (10) has really emerged this time in work and was terrific through the Brisbane carnival where he was a brave and luckless second in the G1 Rising Sun before beating older rivals from the back row last start. That was over 2680m so he is tough and he owns a good record at this distance. Freshened since but was kept up to the mark with two trial wins. Big chance with even luck from the wide draw. Boom WA pacer NEVER ENDING (14) arrived with a terrific strike rate and was a real eye-catcher in his first local run when steaming home for second from the widest barrier. Draws out there again but with even luck class could get him home. SURE THING CAPTAIN (5) has led to win his last two starts and draws to push forward again so could prove hard to catch. WISPER A SECRET (6) beat Don Hugo in winning the Rising Sun and draws better than when third to Sure Thing Captain last week. Contender. EYE KEEP SMILING (4) has a strong record at this distance and draws well so is worth including.

DON HUGO (10) has really emerged this time in work and was terrific through the Brisbane carnival where he was a brave and luckless second in the G1 Rising Sun before beating older rivals from the back row last start. That was over 2680m so he is tough and he owns a good record at this distance. Freshened since but was kept up to the mark with two trial wins. Big chance with even luck from the wide draw. Boom WA pacer NEVER ENDING (14) arrived with a terrific strike rate and was a real eye-catcher in his first local run when steaming home for second from the widest barrier. Draws out there again but with even luck class could get him home. SURE THING CAPTAIN (5) has led to win his last two starts and draws to push forward again so could prove hard to catch. WISPER A SECRET (6) beat Don Hugo in winning the Rising Sun and draws better than when third to Sure Thing Captain last week. Contender. EYE KEEP SMILING (4) has a strong record at this distance and draws well so is worth including.
