HUBUBBAJAHN (5) recorded another minor placing last time out, finishing 2.25 lengths away in second over 1600m at this track. Suitably placed so anticipating another big run. VAN SCOTIA (8) hasn't raced since finishing ninth at this track over 1400m four weeks ago. Kept ticking over with a placing in a recent trial at Longford. Rates highly and is among the main hopes. LOVE NEST (10) settled well back then made some inroads and finished 2.5 lengths away in seventh last time out over 1200m at this track four weeks ago. Steps up in journey today. Drawn out but does go back and work into her races. Watch for a big run. LONTANO (2) finished second last time over 1600m at this track, beaten one length. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running a bold race.
