KIKI KRAZY has not been sighted on a racecourse since April, but this is comfortably her least exacting assignment to date and she can take advantage. Smile And Profile, also down in class and back from a break, and the consistent Copper Bo Ten rate the principal dangers.

Running On Fire has been knocking on the door and is likely to be firmly in the mix, but Steve Sherman's well-bred UNION EXPRESS fetched $300,000 in 2021 and could be worth chancing on his debut. En Tu Honor Bro has impressed in his workouts and is also noted.

STRAIT OF GEORGIA is accustomed to rubbing shoulders at a higher level and this appears a gilt-edged opportunity for him to secure a third career success. Ready last-time-out scorer You Kidding Me is a worthy adversary, while Ko Samui goes well in this grade and also warrants a second look.

Brand New Dream was set a far stiffer assignment on her debut at Del Mar back in the fall and is worth a second look, while Susie Cru is also having her sights lowered and merits respect. The safest bet, however, may be ARCTIC BREEZE. The selection has some solid form in the book and was not disgraced when third here last time.

Worth Looking and WILD BILLY D are eased in class and could be the two to concentrate on. The latter has winning form at today's distance and shades the verdict. Last-time-out track-and-trip winner Mischievous Pirate could prove best of the rest.

A MAN'S MAN is the percentage call having earned a silver medal in a stronger event over track and trip last time. One Fast Bro rates a danger now returned to a claimer, while Vantage Point is likely to be there or thereabouts.

Tamarando Star has displayed ability on both starts thus far and has to be considered, but Jeff Bonde's charge didn't necessarily improve for the step to today's distance last time and FREE AGAIN, a staying-on third over 6f on debut earlier this month, is preferred now sent over further. Come Out Fighting has been knocking on the door and completes the shortlist.

The twice-raced FEISTY ELLA is having her sights significantly lowered and is the percentage call, though Rhonda's Cookin is a worthy foe based on the pick of her form. Sheza Queen Bee, Standforgrit and Daddys Nina followed home Engee Ombee in that order last time and also enter the reckoning.
