THE HUSTLER (8) recorded yet another strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 2100m at this track, adding to a string of recent minor placings. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Perfectly placed and is sure to prove tough to beat. WARRAWEE CRUZIN (10) turned in an uncharacteristically poor run last start when 10 metres away in sixth over 1730m at Bathurst. Form prior to that had been solid. Draws out a little on the second line but finds a suitable assignment and can turn things around. ROLL TO THE TOP (9) resumes from a spell. Last appeared when a modest seventh over 2125m at Penrith five months ago. ZOLTON (6) broke last start but still managed to win by 8 metres over 1720m at Dubbo. That was a pleasing progression after missing the placings the run before. Live chance again in a similar assignment.
