SILVER KISS (1) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish second last start over 1811m in stakes class at this track (Dirt), beaten 1.5 lengths as favourite. Finds a suitable race and can get the job done. THINK FAST (5) lines up for the first time since March 14. Looking to emulate her win at Laurel at the beginning of last prep. Rates highly and should take some beating. BELLE BOTTOMS (6) turned in a fine effort to score by 2.75 lengths at this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. No reason she cannot salute again. UNCHAINED SPIRIT (2) showed good early speed over 1609m at this track (Dirt) last time and went on to salute by half a length. Has a solid record at this circuit. Among the top-three hopes. Something for the Multiples: AUSTRIAN NAVY (4) DANCE MY WAY (3)

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Last start won by 2.75 len at this track on August 4 over 1207m defeating Kissin Cash carrying 54kg at $5.60. The start before that tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 8 at this track on July 13 over 1207m, 10 len behind Silver Kiss carrying 54kg at $5.90. Ideally placed to make it two on the trot.
