Verdict

HUGO (8) finished second last start, beaten a neck, in a nice return to form at Addington over 1 ?m. Interesting to see what unfolds from this wide draw. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of taking this out. ANYTIME AT ALL (9) is in good form with top-five finishes at her last nine starts, most recently recording a third over 1 ?m at this track. The driver has some work to do from this wide starting position. Beautifully placed and is sure to prove tough to beat again. INTERRORGATOR (7) is in the mix following a sixth at his most recent appearance over 1 ¼m at this track. BUDDY REIGN (6) will be cherry-ripe after four runs back from a spell, the latest effort a second at this track a week ago.
