Verdict

ULTIMATUM (6) has been racing well of late and has the hoof on the till after placing in his last four outings. Didn't miss by much when second at his latest appearance at Addington, beaten a neck. This looks his chance to put a well-deserved win on the board. ENOKA (3) only beat a few home when resuming last start at Addington but will be fitter for that hitout and gets a lower starting position so looks a likely improver. DELIGHTINGOLD (2) put the writing on the wall with a better effort last time out when runner-up at Mt Harding. Should enjoy a nice run so could go one better. BLASTFROMTHEPAST (4) showed improvement last time out and could progress further third up.
