GOING:

Class 3 Handicap 1800m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 22)    

Good tempo expected with Excellent Matta, Western Gun and Live Star rolling forward. ULTRA DRAGON (11) resumes in a similar race to his last run 11 weeks ago when fourth, beaten 4 lengths. Capable of playing a major role. WESTERN GUN (6) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 1600m at this track last time. Should park just off the speed. Sure to be in the finish. WORLD BLAME (2) is a genuine type with six minor placings from eight starts this prep. One length from the winner in second last time out over 1800m at this track. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. EXCELLENT MATTA (3) did a great job to score by 6 lengths over today's course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Taking on a better line-up this time but she is up to the challenge.
