ULTIMATE (4) is resuming from a break of three-and-a-half months for a new stable after finishing tenth over 5½f at Del Mar (Dirt) at his latest outing. Goes well when resuming from a lay-off, including three minor placings from five starts. One of the main contenders. COOL PAPA G (8) resumes. After filling a minor placing at his last appearance at emerald downs (dirt) over 6½f on july 28. Expect him to play a major role. HAPPY DANCER (9) has been out of the winner's list for a long time, last start finishing seventh at this track (Dirt) over 6½f. Has the class to return to the winners' list. MINISTER OF SOUL (7) finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 6f at this track (Dirt) when he did his best work late, beaten 5 lengths. This is the right race and can find winning form.
