DECREE AND DECLARE (3) settled towards the back of the field last start and made little impact in the straight when fourth, beaten 6 lengths, over this journey at this track (Dirt). Suitably placed so anticipating a better run this time. RUBY RUBY (2) made progress last time out, finishing 12 lengths from the winner in third at the end of 1609m at Monmouth Park after being prominent at the turn. Meets a stronger field but she is good enough to figure in the finish. CROWN ROYAL BABE (4) returns from a spell of four months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fifth over 1308m at Parx (Dirt). Lining up today for the first time for trainer John T Kirby. Has good early toe so she should be handy in the run. One of the main contenders. KYLIE'S KISS (1) produced another moderate effort last start when 6 lengths from the winner in fifth over 1207m at this track. Suitably placed so can turn things around.
