KETTLE KISS (1) returns from a break of six months. Genuine performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a pulled up over 1673m at Mahoning Valley. Rates highly and a bold showing is expected. FEELING EASY (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start when she settled well back over 1207m at this track, beaten 13 lengths into fifth. Perfectly placed and is sure to take a ton of beating. PARLAY CHARLIE (6) was out of the money when resuming from a spell last start over 1106m at this track, beaten 14 lengths. Has never missed the placings at the second run back. Will enjoy a drop in class so she is a leading contender. DANZA MAGIC (2) was beaten 6 lengths into fourth in a 1106m contest at this track last time out. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 4th of 7 at this track on April 23 over 1106m, 6 len behind Extra Crafty with 54kg at $9.80. Before that got back early second last in a small field at Mahoning Valley on March 26 over 1106m, 3.5 len behind Lucky Phoenix carrying 57kg at $16.70. Easily accounted for last time out but this suits.

Second run back. First-up after seven months ran last in a small field at this track on April 28 over 1207m, 16 len behind Banana Pudding carrying 54kg at $13. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at this track on May 21 over 1106m, 11 len behind The Devil's Dream carrying 54kg at $11.30. Expecting improvement and is among the better chances.

Last start second last in a small field at this track on April 28 over 1207m, 13 len behind Banana Pudding carrying 53kg at $20.20. The start before that ran last of 7 at this track on April 20 over 1207m, 9 len behind Kiss Me Quick carrying 51.5kg at $29.80. Can make amends for a modest effort last time.
