Westport Race 2 - QUAY MARINE - MANY THANKS LORRAINE SCANLON PACE
ULTIMATUM (3) finished third last time out, beaten 6 metres, in a nice return to form at Ashburton Raceway over 2400m. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Won't find this any harder and he can go right on with the job. MAJOR LI (5) finished fourth at Ashburton Raceway two runs ago before finishing eighth at his latest appearance over 2600m at Addington, beaten 60 metres. Has the talent to find the winners' list. PICK IT UP (9) is worth another chance after a last-start tenth over 2170m at Motukarara Raceway two-and-a-half weeks ago. ITZ ALL OVER ROVER (4) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 2400m at Ashburton Raceway last time out.
