CHESS NOT CHECKERS (5) has put together a couple of wins at this course, the latest on May 21 over 5½f when she got home by 1.5 lengths. This looks a sterner test than last time but on current form she is one of the key runners. WORK'N ON A BUZZ (1) raced on the speed last start and battled on well but found one better over 6f at this track (Dirt). Erik Barbaran has registered four minor placings when on board. Among the leading chances. REMEMBER ME (6) started at 7/2 last time but could only manage fourth, beaten 7 lengths, at this track over 5½f. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Will give backers a great sight. KISS ME QUICK (3) is back from a lay-off of nine weeks. Closed last prep as a winner, taking out a 5½f contest at this track by 1.3 lengths. Goes well at this journey with two wins from four starts. Well placed and likely to feature.
