Genuine tempo with Shala leading the way. SEATTLE PRINCESS (2) managed to hold onto third last time out over this track and trip after being in the firing line on the bend. That followed a win at this track at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. SHALA (11) scored comfortably over 1200m at this track last start when first up from a spell. Form here strong boasting two wins from three starts. Must be respected. WIDE MARGARITA (1) looks close to a win, finishing in the placings at her last couple of runs including a second most recently here. Looks tough to stop. SPARKLE GEM (7) has struggled to threaten of late but Toshiki Yamamoto gets the best out of this four-year-old filly. Keeping safe.
