Fast pace assured with Mana Flash, Kingsbury and Dona Pound leading the charge. KINGSBURY (9) turned in a fine effort to win by 4 lengths at today's track and distance last time out to continue his outstanding recent form, wining four of his last five. Has his share of ability. Hard to beat again in this suitable race. MANA FLASH (1) returns from a break of ten weeks. Consistent performer last prep whose most recent appearance resulted in a second at this course and distance. Has a strong fresh record including four wins. Likely to be in the finish. HAPPY THALIA (10) is ready to win after she just missed last time, beaten a neck into second after being in the firing line all the way. Awkwardly drawn and might need a little luck early but can feature. DONA POUND (11) could be ready to show more third up.
