The Killarney maiden won by ARTISTIC MELODY has been boosted greatly since and she could prove to be very well handicapped here providing she is ready after a layoff. There are several alternatives who look competitive off their current marks including Mr Ormsby who ran well last time out here while suggesting this extra furlong would be ideal and Jon Ess who had several of these behind when a close second latest.
