RACE COMMENT
DON HUGO (3) is the clear class runner of this field. Has had three weeks off since a close second to a smart one at Listed level but has been kept up to the mark with a trial win since. Draws ideally and has won six of eight attempts at this circuit and distance including a Eureka and an Inter Dominion final. Hard to go past. HORN PLAYER (4) improved second-up when he came from the back row to place behind the flying Captains Knock in the Murray Cup. Rarely out of the placings at this circuit and distance and is three from three when third-up so should be peaking. Throwing in KINGMAKER (5) at good odds. He has placed in both starts off a spell and is a three-time third-up winner. JAY OK (8) deserves respect off his win from this barrier two back at this circuit and distance when he covered ground but dug deep.
