GOING:

VALE HUBERT (HUBBA) RICH MS PACE 1730m

Track: GOOD      

THELITTLE MASTER (9) draws wide again but has been solid in finishing midfield in his last couple of outings. Came from this barrier when edged out by a head at this circuit last month. He is up to winning this with even luck. MAJOR JAY (4) was a beaten favourite last time but did have to work when racing parked. Had been producing decent efforts prior so is worth another chance. FLYING RUMOUR (2) came from the back row when he placed in a higher-graded race here three back and draws well. HEAVENLY WAGE (6) hasn't been too far off the placegetters at his last couple so is worth some thought in this suitable assignment.
