Strong tempo with Lovely Lucia, Just Lien and Opera Aria leading the way. HARLEM SHUFFLE (10) has scored at his last three starts, most recently by one length over 1400m at this track as favourite. That continued the solid form this campaign, with five wins and three minor placings from 11 runs. Leading player again. QUEEN'S MACARON (2) did a great job to score by 2.5 lengths over this course and distance last start to maintain her good form of late. Taking on a better field but she is up to the task. LOVELY LUCIA (4) was a winner at this track over this distance two back then tackled a longer trip last time but failed to measure up when fourth at this track. Leading chance in this more suitable race. ZEITOKU (6) gave a bold display over this course and distance last start, racing on the speed and boxing on well to finish second and beaten a neck. It doesn't get any easier but on his best form he is capable of testing his rivals.
