NSWSOA FIRST PAST THE POST BONUS DIV 2 PACE 1609m

Track: FAST   Rain (Max: 14)    

MY ULTIMATE HUGO (9) has been racing well and looks close to a win after placing in his last three outings at this circuit. Drew on this row in two of those and can break through with even luck. MY ROCK MOVES (10) was a winner here three back and was good again when he came from this row to place in the latest outing. Expect another strong showing. SPUNKYS GOTSECRETS (6) should be at his peak for this and showed good improvement when beaten just a head into second at Newcastle at the latest appearance. SAN SABA (2) is building in fitness and has been solid in finishing fourth in his last two outings from the back line. Draws to be competitive.
