KELLY'S GIRL (4) is racing well. Scored at this track (Dirt) in a then finished second, beaten 1. 3 lengths, over 6½f at this track (Dirt) at the latest appearance four weeks ago. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expecting a bold showing. SMOKED (8) was in the firing line all the way and fought on for third last start over 6f at Fairmount Park (Dirt), making it two minor placings in a row. This looks a sterner test than last time but on her best form she is good enough to take this out. WHAT'S CRACKIN (3) built on a nice second two starts back at Ellis Park (Dirt) with a win over 1m at Fairmount Park (Dirt) six-and-a-half weeks ago, getting home by 0. 3 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form she is one of the key runners. SULTRY KITTEN (7) produced a good run two starts back to finish third but was below par last time when out of the placings at this track (Turf) over 5½f after she had travelled in a rearwards position. Has her share of ability. Hard to beat in this suitable race.
