Solid recent form is notably scarce but KISUMU produced an improved effort when third at Perth latest and Becky Smith has already proved her talent around this quirky track and is one of the best conditionals around. The selection runs off an unchanged mark and is a hopeful each-way shout in a tricky contest. Lord Fendale was another to deliver a much better run last time and he's the one to beat on the formbook if repeating his close second to Tidal Watch at Stratford just over a week ago. Minella Fiveo has shown nothing of note the last twice but if finding his way back to the form of his Southwell second to Oscar Denarius in April, would certainly be involved at the business end. Smart Ruler has a place claim for a yard which always send a strong team here.
