GRAND JOUR (8) scored her maiden win five back and is poised to salute again after finishing in the money at the last four outings, most recently when third over 1200m at this track. Has a decent record at this track. Right in this. VENEZIA FLAVOR (11) opened this prep with a win two runs ago. Not as effective last time out when eighth over 1200m at this track, beaten 3.5 lengths after being in contention on the turn. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot make amends. SHINE FORT (7) resumes in a similar race to his last run five months ago when second, beaten 0.8 lengths. One to consider. KITASAN HIKOBOSHI (10) failed to threaten when fresh from a spell last time out, beaten 14 lengths into 14th over 1400m at this track. Should settle just off the speed despite the draw. One of the better hopes.
