SISTER KISSES (2) was leading on the turn and fought on to finish second over 6f at Ellis Park (Dirt) at her latest appearance. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. LITTLE BLAZE (6) was a winner on dirt over 6f at Ellis Park in a but missed the frame on turf over 6½f at Kentucky last time. Good record at this journey with three wins and six minor placings from 12 starts and is sure to run well. SOMBRA DORADA (3) was safely held when third last time out over 6f at Ellis Park, beaten 3.5 lengths after being prominent at the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Meets some better types this time but a big run is on the cards. CANDY LOVER (4) won at Ellis Park (Dirt) two starts ago but was below her best at a more recent appearance, finishing ninth over 6½f at Kentucky (Turf). Likely improver with top-three prospects.
