Good pace from Volegov, Sky Rocket and Witch Hazel. CORK BAY (2) saluted at the first run back from a spell last start over 1200m at Kenilworth, scoring by 1.75 lengths. Has been given a let-up of eight weeks since that outing. Open to plenty of improvement and looms as the one to beat again. KELP FOREST (5) did a good job last start to finish second at Kenilworth over 1200m, beaten one length. Craig Zackey stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Best form puts him right in this. LYRICAL GANGSTER (3) missed the placings two runs back then improved last start when he did his best work late but found one better over 1000m at Kenilworth, beaten only 0.8 lengths. Nicely placed to find winning ways. VOLEGOV (1) finished 3.5 lengths from the winner in fifth last time out over 1000m at Kenilworth on May 19. Has the gate speed to take up a forward position. Should give backers a sight.
