RACE SEVEN
Asked to dip his toes in the deep water under the conditions for this contest, LOVE YOUR WORK (2) arrives in a hot-streak of form. Carving out a power running 1.50.9-mile last time out, he broke 27 for the first and third quarters but was never in danger. Winning all three prior to that, he has the gate to take control and make a splash.
NORTHVIEW HUSTLER (7) cops the outside alley but is the class of the race and brings some handy numbers to the battle. Since returning from a freshen, he has been top-two in his four starts, the latest when breaking 54 and 27 for his last 800/400 splits. A winner at similar conditions two back, he looms large.
HITTHEROADJACK (1) finds the front line for the first time since crossing the Nullarbor, with his latest effort full of merit. With an interrupted passage yet still closing nicely, he can be probing.
WILL THE WIZARD (6) closed out his last campaign with successive wins but since resuming, it has been hard to gauge his form. He can take this at his best, but there may be too many questions.
