Sense Of Humour and Yes I'm Ugly possess good early speed. ARTOPIA (8) is an honest conveyance who has placed three from three around this circuit and will be ready to peak now fourth-up from the spell. Should get a gun run in transit from gate two and is sure to be right there when the judge calls a halt. YES I'M UGLY (5) has remarkably hit the top-five in 13 of his past 14 starts and is usually thereabouts. One for the exotics players. SENSE OF HUMOUR (12) disappointed last time out but the form prior was full of merit. Worth another chance. HIT THE BUTTON (2) next best despite the wide draw. SUGGESTED PLAY: Artopia to get a well-deserved victory.
