Race comment
Taking some benefit from his latest offering HESITATE (4) will be second up from a break and should relish tackling this grade. Resuming in FFA company last week at Menangle, he was eased off the arm as DON HUGO arrived in the last strides. From the gate, he has the class. JUNGLE DRAGON (10) was forced to sit parked last week at Redcliffe and after the tough trip faded in the closing stages as ALWAYS DANCING took them all the way. Not suited when parked outside FINAL DEADLINE the start prior, where he maps looks the biggest query to his chances. SMARTER THAN YOU (6) had been building towards a win and found ideal conditions last start at Redcliffe, taking them all the way. A gritty 2nd two starts back, the gate dents the repeat hopes. BRAVENTREACHEROUS (8) looks set to be buried away from this gate and will be searching for some gaps. Best of the chasers last start behind SWEET ON LEXY, he will be probing for space. SELECTIONS: HESITATE (4), JUNGLE DRAGON (10), SMARTER THAN YOU (6), BRAVENTREACHEROUS (8) SUGGESTED BET: HESITATE (4) to win

Taking some benefit from his latest offering HESITATE (4) will be second up from a break and should relish tackling this grade.

JUNGLE DRAGON (10) was forced to sit parked last week at Redcliffe and after the tough trip faded in the closing stages as ALWAYS DANCING took them all the way. Not suited when parked outside FINAL DEADLINE the start prior, where he maps looks the biggest query to his chances. SMARTER THAN YOU (6) had been building towards a win and found ideal conditions last start at Redcliffe, taking them all the way. A gritty 2nd two starts back, the gate dents the repeat hopes.

Taking some benefit from his latest offering HESITATE (4) will be second up from a break and should relish tackling this grade. Resuming in FFA company last week at Menangle, he was eased off the arm as DON HUGO arrived in the last strides. From the gate, he has the class. JUNGLE DRAGON (10) was forced to sit parked last week at Redcliffe and after the tough trip faded in the closing stages as ALWAYS DANCING took them all the way. Not suited when parked outside FINAL DEADLINE the start prior, where he maps looks the biggest query to his chances. SMARTER THAN YOU (6) had been building towards a win and found ideal conditions last start at Redcliffe, taking them all the way. A gritty 2nd two starts back, the gate dents the repeat hopes. BRAVENTREACHEROUS (8) looks set to be buried away from this gate and will be searching for some gaps. Best of the chasers last start behind SWEET ON LEXY, he will be probing for space.
