---|---|---|---|---|
Huesca is expected to cross from a wide draw and lead. STARMAN (7) enigmatic gelding who gets the right race set-up today. Returns from a 38 day let-up after finding the line late when third over 1350m at Wyong in similar company on March 20. Since fitted with a recent trial placing over 905m at Canterbury. Expecting Rawiller to get the best out of him. IVAN'S HERO (13) undefeated this track and total forgive over an unsuitable trip when a plodding 15th over 1100m at Flemington on March 30. Extra trip suits and looks solid each way value. HUESCA (12) at his peak for this and expecting more after tiring late when seventh over 1550m at Canterbury on April 17. On the quick back-up and will take catching. SKYWOLF (8) fourth-up for this and much better performance when rattled late to finish fifth over 1200m at Mornington on April 20. Rates well over this trip and not to be underestimated. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 7,13,12,8.
