COME OUT FIGHTING (8) is in a purple patch of form with his fourth straight win coming last time out over 6f at Pleasanton (Dirt). Rates highly and hard to knock the winning form. MINISTER OF SOUL (2) was always forward and boxed on to finish second over 5½f at this track (Dirt) last time. G Corbett is back on and has a solid record on the 10-year-old, including seven wins. Sure to run well. HOLDEN THE LUTE (9) returned to winning form second up last start, scoring by 4 lengths over 6½f at this track (Dirt). Has never been out of the placings at the third run in so he is among the winning hopes. ULTIMATE (11) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last time over 5½f at this track (Dirt) when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 0.4 lengths. Nicely placed to run well again.
