HUTA (6) has improved with each start this time in and put the writing on the wall when runner-up at this circuit and distance last time out. Draws wider but should be hitting his peak now. There was plenty to like about the latest performance of BETTER ECLIPSE (11) when fifth after racing up to five wide from this barrier. Will need better luck but is building in fitness and has the class. SOUTH SEAS ROCK (5) drew wide and had no luck at Listed level last start but recorded back-to-back placings here prior.

Race comment
HUTA (6) has improved with each start this time in and put the writing on the wall when runner-up at this circuit and distance last time out. Draws wider but should be hitting his peak now. There was plenty to like about the latest performance of BETTER ECLIPSE (11) when fifth after racing up to five wide from this barrier. Will need better luck but is building in fitness and has the class. SOUTH SEAS ROCK (5) drew wide and had no luck at Listed level last start but recorded back-to-back placings here prior. Better suited in this company so can bounce back. PERFECT STRIDE (10) drew wide again but only missed narrowly from a similar draw here last week so could be close to a win. HUGO MAGUIRE (2) has been racing consistently from wider barriers so could be competitive again from this nice draw.

Will need better luck but is building in fitness and has the class. SOUTH SEAS ROCK (5) drew wide and had no luck at Listed level last start but recorded back-to-back placings here prior. Better suited in this company so can bounce back. PERFECT STRIDE (10) drew wide again but only missed narrowly from a similar draw here last week so could be close to a win. HUGO MAGUIRE (2) has been racing consistently from wider barriers so could be competitive again from this nice draw.

Race comment
HUTA (6) has improved with each start this time in and put the writing on the wall when runner-up at this circuit and distance last time out. Draws wider but should be hitting his peak now. There was plenty to like about the latest performance of BETTER ECLIPSE (11) when fifth after racing up to five wide from this barrier. Will need better luck but is building in fitness and has the class. SOUTH SEAS ROCK (5) drew wide and had no luck at Listed level last start but recorded back-to-back placings here prior. Better suited in this company so can bounce back. PERFECT STRIDE (10) drew wide again but only missed narrowly from a similar draw here last week so could be close to a win. HUGO MAGUIRE (2) has been racing consistently from wider barriers so could be competitive again from this nice draw.

Race comment
HUTA (6) has improved with each start this time in and put the writing on the wall when runner-up at this circuit and distance last time out. Draws wider but should be hitting his peak now. There was plenty to like about the latest performance of BETTER ECLIPSE (11) when fifth after racing up to five wide from this barrier. Will need better luck but is building in fitness and has the class. SOUTH SEAS ROCK (5) drew wide and had no luck at Listed level last start but recorded back-to-back placings here prior. Better suited in this company so can bounce back. PERFECT STRIDE (10) drew wide again but only missed narrowly from a similar draw here last week so could be close to a win. HUGO MAGUIRE (2) has been racing consistently from wider barriers so could be competitive again from this nice draw.
