TRAIN B TAKA (1) showed good pace over 1f180yards at this track (Dirt) last time and defied all challengers to score by 0.8 lengths. Taking on a better line-up this time but he is good enough to play a major role. ULTIMATE BATTLE (6) was resuming from a lay-off of four months last start when a solid third over this course and distance. Good record at this journey with two wins and five minor placings from eight starts and is one of the major players. FAVORITE SEMENTAL (5) is in winning form after scoring as favourite last time out by half a length over 1f180yards at this track (Dirt). Boasts four wins here. Goes up a notch this time but still has winning claims on his best figures. SHOW N TELL CARTEL (10) is coming off a last-start third, beaten 0.9 lengths, over 1f180yards at this track. Has sound form here including a win and six minor placings from 11 starts. A bold showing is expected.
