ESPECIAL HUGO (7) goes very well here starting eight times for three wins and two minors. Below best last time at this track (19.75) in a Grade 5 H, finishing a 7 length fifth. Appeals as a leading chance in this. GRETA'S GOLD (2) had a tricky draw last time and although midfield in fifth wasn't far away finishing 3.5 lengths from the winner (19.73). Has a good record here at this journey. Has ability and can measure up. GUMTREE HILL (1) is boxed nicely on the inside. Last start finished 3rd in a Grade 5 on July 15 over 425m at Bendigo behind Red Cabang beaten 2.5 lengths (24.65). Suited here and expected to run well. DIM SIM NODDY (4) cannot be left out after placing here at this trip last start.

Looks close to another win after his success on June 23 at this track over 350m. Last start was second over 350m in 19.58, behind Karachi. Thereabouts at his last couple and is capable of better.

Missed the frame latest (19.75) when fifth over 350m at this track in a Grade 5 H. Starts from box 7 for the first time here. With a clean break looks hard to beat.
