Neo Shakunage is expected to lead at a slick tempo. NEO SHAKUNAGE (7) is in fine form and hasn't missed the frame in his past nine starts. Last time out he finished third over 1000m at this track. Likely to measure up again. LAVEY (4) drifted well back last start then wound up strongly to finish fourth, beaten 1.4 lengths, over 1600m at this track. Sure to prove tough to stop. SAKURA SCINTILLER (1) was in the money first up at this track then could only manage ninth last time out over 1000m at this track. Fitter and deserves another chance. HONEY BEAT (3) is experiencing a long win drought, extended last start when tenth over 1000m at this track after she got a long way back in the run. Best figures measure up nicely. One of the chances.
