Kenilworth Race 6 - Centurion Member Hilton Yutar's Birthday Class 5
MELA STRENGTH (4) has been finding it hard to win another race but is racing well. Top hoop Craig Zackey is booked to ride and he may be able to coax that little bit extra out of him where it matters most. PAST AND PRESENT (1) finished fifth and not far off the winner last time in the same race as the top pick. He is heading the right way and has cracked the pole position. He should go close to taking this out. SUMMER NIGHT CITY (3) beat the top 2 picks and won a game race in her last start over here this trip. She is in a good space and can repeat the dose. IM THE BUZZ (2) has been thereabouts since winning 4 starts back. She drops in class and will be staying on at the business end. Stick with her and watch for her late.

Form hard to fault. Last start favourite; won by a nose at this track January 11 over 1800m defeating My Only Weakness carrying 56kg at $3.80. The start before that 2nd of 9 at this track on December 4 over 1800m, neck behind Tothemoonandback with 55.5kg at $34. One of the prime contenders in a most suitable contest.
