IBUTHO (3) was a winner two back at this track then was competitive last time when fourth over 1400m at this track, beaten only 1.2 lengths. Goes very well here and expected to go close. WINTER WAVES (4) did well to score at this track two runs ago. Fair effort last time out when sixth over 1400m at this track, beaten 1.75 lengths. Goes best here and looks a genuine winning hope. ULTRA QUICK (5) turned in a nice effort to score two runs ago at this track. Safely held last time out when fourth over 1400m at Scottsville, beaten 4 lengths after being in the firing line on the corner. Well weighted with the claim. Genuine hope. RAFIKI (2) resumes today after filling a minor placing at his only appearance last prep at this track over 1600m on August 1. Likely to push forward and race on the pace. Must be respected.
