Race comment
DON HUGO (10) took advantage of a trail behind the leader and the sprint lane to down Leap To Fame for a Group 1 win in last week's Blacks A Fake in Brisbane. Has a strong strike rate at this circuit and distance including a win in this year's Miracle Mile. All class and will be hard to stop. RAKERO ROCKET (9) is a fascinating newcomer to the Jason Grimson yard from across the Tasman. Hasn't raced since last month's NZ Cup but showed his ability with a win in the G3 Methven Cup earlier in the campaign and he is proven at this distance. Looks a threat. UBETCHA TIGERPIE (11) cops a wide draw but did well to get within 2m of the flying Captains Knock at Listed level at this circuit and distance last week. HELLUVA (3) is a first four hope from a good draw.

DON HUGO (10) took advantage of a trail behind the leader and the sprint lane to down Leap To Fame for a Group 1 win in last week's Blacks A Fake in Brisbane. Has a strong strike rate at this circuit and distance including a win in this year's Miracle Mile. All class and will be hard to stop. RAKERO ROCKET (9) is a fascinating newcomer to the Jason Grimson yard from across the Tasman. Hasn't raced since last month's NZ Cup but showed his ability with a win in the G3 Methven Cup earlier in the campaign and he is proven at this distance. Looks a threat. UBETCHA TIGERPIE (11) cops a wide draw but did well to get within 2m of the flying Captains Knock at Listed level at this circuit and distance last week. HELLUVA (3) is a first four hope from a good draw.

Has a strong strike rate at this circuit and distance including a win in this year's Miracle Mile. All class and will be hard to stop.

UBETCHA TIGERPIE (11) cops a wide draw but did well to get within 2m of the flying Captains Knock at Listed level at this circuit and distance last week. HELLUVA (3) is a first four hope from a good draw.

DON HUGO (10) took advantage of a trail behind the leader and the sprint lane to down Leap To Fame for a Group 1 win in last week's Blacks A Fake in Brisbane. Has a strong strike rate at this circuit and distance including a win in this year's Miracle Mile. All class and will be hard to stop. RAKERO ROCKET (9) is a fascinating newcomer to the Jason Grimson yard from across the Tasman. Hasn't raced since last month's NZ Cup but showed his ability with a win in the G3 Methven Cup earlier in the campaign and he is proven at this distance. Looks a threat. UBETCHA TIGERPIE (11) cops a wide draw but did well to get within 2m of the flying Captains Knock at Listed level at this circuit and distance last week. HELLUVA (3) is a first four hope from a good draw.
