GOING:

Race 6 1400m

Track:      

In a small field either Plus Ultra or Noble Genesis will find the front. PLUS ULTRA (3) is in top form with two wins on end, the most recent an effortless 4 lengths victory over 1400m at this track a week-and-a-half ago. Reunites with Hirohisa Tachi who has a win when partnering. Leading contender. BELLWOOD BRAVO (1) turned in a modest performance when fourth last time out over 1400m at this track, beaten 7 lengths. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. ODEN OPAL (2) doesn't win very often but ran a nice race last time out over 1400m at this track, finishing third and beaten 1.75 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Yet to miss the placings in three starts over this course and distance. Likely improver with strong prospects. NOBLE GENESIS (4) disappointed last start when out of the placings over 1500m at this track, beaten 35 lengths. Is yet to be beaten in three starts at this course and distance. Finds a nice race and can make amends.
