BANANA PUDDING (4) was safely held when second last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Nicely placed to return to winning form. FLAME FOR REAL (3) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1m at this track, beaten 8 lengths after being prominent at the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Finds a suitable race and can go on to take this out. STICK AROUND (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 11 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fifth over 1m at this track, beaten 18 lengths. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. KANT ELOPE (7) closed last prep ten months ago when she finished ninth over 6f at Turfway Park. Ticks all the right boxes.
