The 2nd of 2 Listed races and THE ULTIMATE KING is hard to oppose on the evidence of his last-start 3rd in the Grade 1 Summer Cup, even under a 2-point penalty. BUSTER BARNES caught the eye when a fast-finishing 3rd in a 1600m Listed event last time and this extended trip may be more to his liking. Last-start winner GERBERA and runner-up COPPER EAGLE remain competitive off their current marks, as does versatile PIONEER SQUARE who will appreciate the extended trip. CHOISAANADA, ARISTOTLE and WILLY MEET AGAIN have the means to get involved too.
