HI SUGA RUSH (10) made a nice return at his latest appearance a week ago, finishing 1.2 metres away in second over 2130m at Gloucester Park. No favours expected from this draw. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish again. TUBBS FARQUHAR (2) turned in a much better run last start, finishing third over 2265m at this track. Has the benefit of a good draw. Must raise the bar but a win is not out of the question. THOMSON BAY (8) didn't do a bad job when fifth over 2265m at this track last time out. ITSOKTOBEGREY (1) has drawn to advantage and should give backers a great sight.
