Bulli Race 10

Mark Hughes Foundation

Prize Money: $2,310

SQUARE UP (7) goes very well at this journey here having never missed the frame including two wins and two placings. Below best last time at Wentworth Park (31.25) in a Grade 5, finishing a 18 length fourth. Expected to go close. RUSTY CORTEZ (1) has been hard to follow lately, running seventh (23.21) last time but prior to that ran very well when placed at Richmond. Can turn it around this time. TO THE STATION (8) could manage only seventh after copping a check in the run last time in a Grade 5 at this track, finishing 16 lengths from the winner (20.43). Gets chance to atone. NIKITA BANNER (3) has strong credentials over this journey.

Did a good job two starts back at Dapto to win by a neck in 17.43, beating Aston Mendes. Last start finished 6th on May 19 over 365m at Nowra behind Born Little beaten 9 lengths (21.32) in a Grade 5. Has ability and worth including.

Missed the frame last time but was narrowly beaten two back when second (18.46) over 320m at Richmond. Aided by a low draw and capable of a better result.

Finished third last start (19.80) at big odds over 340m at this track. Awkward draw to overcome. Will need plenty of luck.

Last couple of starts have been ordinary but he does have good record over this track and distance. Won at his only start from this draw. Top chance to make it two from two.

Was out of placings last time (20.43) at this track in a Grade 5, finishing seventh and beaten 16 lengths. Yet to score but has placed each of four runs from this draw. Looks a leading chance.
