GOING:

Race 11 2000m

Track:      

Ultimatum should be able to comfortably find the front. NAGOYABASHIRI (3) started at $4.20 last time but could only manage fifth at this track over 2000m. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Will give a great sight. KAWATEN BACCHUS (7) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 1.5 lengths over 1400m at this track. Open to plenty of improvement and is among the winning hopes again. ULTIMATUM (4) lines up for the first time since January 15. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 900m at this track. Looks a strong top-three prospect. NEFER ASTI (2) was in contention on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 920m at this track, beaten a head. Should take a lot from that hit-out. Placed to advantage and can fill another top-three spot.
