SHAMAN PRINCESS (5) showed good early pace last time and battled on gamely to finish just 0. 8 lengths from the winner in second over 5f at this track (Dirt) when returning from a layoff. Best figures measure up. Sure to run well. VALENTINE GIFT (6) returned from a lay-off two weeks ago when she was in contention on the bend before being beaten 3 lengths into fourth over 5f at this track. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. MIA NIPOTINA (1) drifted well back last start before winding up strongly to finish third, beaten 2. 75 lengths, over 5f at this track (Dirt). Yet to break through at this journey but has placed at all four tries and has to be respected. APRIL STORM (3) showed good speed to stalk the pace before drawing clear to score by 0. 8 lengths over 4½f here last time out. Form this track is hard to knock with two wins from five starts. Deserves respect.
