HUGOTASTIC (9) had to work last time so it may pay to be forgiving. Draws wide again but he was good when placed fresh two back and showed ability with a string of wins last time in. Yet to miss a place when third-up so should be peaking. Can show his best with even luck. LINCOLN RIVER (3) has yet to miss the top-four this time in and kept the ball rolling last time when 3.6 metres from the winner in second at this venue. Came from wider when scoring here three back and is likely to get the favours from this nice draw. LORD TITANIUM (2) draws well and continues to perform, placing in four of five starts since winning at this circuit and distance. Contender. NORTHVIEW DANCE (5) had a big handicap last start but won easily here prior and is rarely out of the top-three at this distance.
