MT SHIRATAKU (5) raced once in the maiden campaign when well supported but could only manage eighth at Pinjarra over 5f back on December 1. Likely improver who is worth another chance. CANNYKEV (1) has put together back-to-back placings, the latest when 1.3 lengths away in third over 6f at Ascot when he was handy all the way. Has the ability to produce another positive result. ROYAL TALK (10) returned from a lay-off two-and-a-half weeks ago when she was beaten 2.5 lengths into seventh over 6f at Pinjarra Scarpside. Fitter so expect a better run this time. SAXON JEWEL (8) is ticking along okay with two runs this time in. Improved last time out when fourth, beaten 2 lengths, at Ascot over 6f. Will appreciate a drop in grade. Has to be respected in this company.
