Verdict

ULTIMATE SHOWDOWN (2) is a two-year-old gelding from the Michael Formosa yard on debut. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Has strong trial form coming into this. Will be ready to run a big race. MONDOSI (5) is a two-year-old colt by Sweet Lou from Pelosi on debut. Trial winner who looks above average. Will be right there at the business end. DARK VELOCITY (1) last appeared when seventh over 1m at Menangle five months ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep. IFSBUTSANDBILYCANS (9) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1m at this track.
