PRINCESS SNOW (3) returned to winning form last start, scoring by one length over this journey at this track (Turf). Has a sound record at this journey with two wins and zero minor placings. In form and should go well again. MAYACAMA (5) travelled just behind the leader before taking over and scoring a determined win by half a length over 1207m here last time. J J Hernandez who has scored on her two times retains the mount. Should be in the finish. THEBESTISYETTOBE (2) returned from a spell last start with a strong win by 2.75 lengths over 1811m at this track (Turf). Open to plenty of improvement and must be respected. IMA JOKER (4) resumes in a similar race to her only run last prep back on April 4 when second, beaten 1.75 lengths. Definite top-three chance.
