KNICKOLETTA (2) is back after a break of 11 weeks. Started the last campaign in good style when in the placings over 1106m at Laurel. Has found a suitable race. SPATULA (1) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just once from 12 starts. Did a good job last start to finish second over 905m at this track, beaten half a length. Best figures measure up nicely. Makes plenty of appeal. ARDITAMENTE (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 8 lengths when fifth in a 905m contest at this track a week ago. Likely improver with strong prospects. PALPITATIONS (4) made progress last time out, finishing 2.5 lengths from the winner in third over 905m at this track. Nicely placed to play a pivotal role.
