NIGHT KISS (9) missed the frame last time when sixth in stakes class at this track (Synthetic). That followed a run of four wins on end. Will be handy despite the tricky draw. Among the leading chances. MAZOKU (3) is a model of consistency with top-three finishes at her last 10 starts, most recently finishing third over 1m at Churchill Downs. Leading contender. ACE REPORTER (10) stuck on well last start to finish second over 6f at Horseshoe Indianapolis (Dirt) after showing good early speed. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again. MISS TAPPY TONE (4) has switched yards since scoring by 1.3 lengths at Churchill Downs over 1m on November 10.
