PALERMO FLAVOR (4) went fast early over 1500m at this track last time and dug deep to score by 4 lengths. Has the ability to produce another positive result. LANI'S GRACE (3) started at $6.90 last time and ran below expectations, finishing sixth and beaten 8 lengths at this track over 1400m. Hard to beat in this suitable race. HEAVEN'S CRY (6) broke through for his maiden win over 1500m at this track last time. Shaping up nicely and he is a solid top-three hope. JANUB (7) returns from a spell of three-and-a-half months. Was safely held at the only appearance last prep when fourth over 1400m at this track. Strong record with Mai Fukuhara in the irons, including a win. One of the better hopes.
