This looks to be between Hugo 'n Taz and TOUCH BASE on all we know, and there shouldn't be much between them. Preference is just for the latter, who takes in this event rather than the opener, presumably as this trip should suit better. He can improve past Hugo 'n Taz, doing nothing wrong at present and for whom a win at some point looks a given. Le Hatchette may be the one for the trifecta.
