AMY'S STAR (4) finished sixth two runs back at this track (Dirt) then improved last time out to score by 0.3 lengths as public elect after being prominent at the turn over 1106m at this track (Dirt). Likely to be there at the finish again. KETTLE KISS (2) closed off strongly last start to get up for second, beaten 0.3 lengths, over 1106m at this track. Sound record at this distance with four wins and six minor placings from 15 runs and is right in this. MOBIL MEMORY (6) was prominent at the bend and ran a better race last start to finish a close third over 1106m at this track after missing the placings at the previous appearance. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. FEELING EASY (3) did a great job to score by 1.3 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is one of the chief contenders.

Form hard to fault. At the latest run 3rd in a small field at this track on July 22 over 1106m, neck behind Amy's Star carrying 51kg at $5.30. The race before that ran second last in a small field at this track on June 23 over 1207m, 7 len behind Commissioner D with 51.5kg at $4. Well placed to take this out.
