GOING:

Race 1 1400m

Track:      

Plus Ultra to take charge ahead of Allez Claire at a strong tempo. ALLEZ CLAIRE (6) went forward and gave a great sight before finishing second last time out over 1600m at Kasamatsu. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race. PLUS ULTRA (10) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at this track over 900m on December 28. Should be prominent despite the awkward gate. Best form puts him right in this. GOLD AVANTI (5) finished fifth over 1500m at this track at his most recent appearance on December 27. Worth plenty of thought. TOWER CLIMBER (7) finished fifth at this track and distance at his last appearance three months ago. Makes plenty of appeal.
