Cracking tempo with He's A Hustler and Lady Courrege leading the way. MUKATILA (12) is a 3yo filly by Flying Artie for the Ben Brisbourne yard who debuts here. She's trained locally and has won a Wodonga jumpout leading in. This looks a winnable race first time out. HE'S A HUSTLER (4) has not raced since his debut on September 11 over 1200m at Seymour when he finished seventh, beaten 4.5 lengths. He's expected to improve for the McEvoy yard drawn well. LUJAEGO (8) ran a solid race on debut here over this track and trip. She can improve this time in. KASUMA GODDESS (10) wasn't far away on debut at Wagga when getting back in the run. She can be strong late. COLOUR CIRCLE (1) resumes and could show up at odds. SUGGESTED PLAY: Mukatila to win.
