PALACE SHANTI (12) sat on the pace and stuck on well to score by half a length at today's course and distance when resuming from a spell last start. Facing a tougher assignment but she is up to the task. JUNE LAND (4) is yet to find the frame in two runs since resuming from a spell, the latest when sixth over 1200m at this track. Cherry-ripe now and shapes as a leading player. MOFUBUKI (9) could only manage sixth when resuming here two runs back then improved last start but found a couple better over 1000m at this venue, beaten 2.5 lengths. Must raise the bar but she has the talent to test this line-up. SAKURA CURRENT (2) fought on for third last start over 1000m at this course, beaten 2.25 lengths to add to some fine recent form. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run this time.
