A KISS FOR KHOZAN (7) ran below expectations last time after being in the firing line on the turn at this track (Dirt), finishing sixth and beaten 7 lengths starting at 11/10. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. VITAEMI (5) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 5½f at this track, beaten 6 lengths into fourth after being in the firing line on the bend. Nicely placed to get the prize. SPECIAL BEACH (6) finished seventh over 6f at this track (Dirt) at her most recent appearance on December 9. Comes here with definite top-three claims. EXTRA CRAFTY (4) has not won for a long while. Last raced on January 21 when beaten 2 lengths into fourth at this track (Dirt) over 6f after being up on the pace until straightening. Likely improver who should be thereabouts.
