Strong early tempo assured with Our Cracklin Rosie, Picky and Princess Duhallow locking horns. PRINCESS DUHALLOW (6) was a promising two-year-old who resumed at Flemington and ran quite well behind a talented winner in Hedged. She finished 5th, beaten just 2.6 lengths down the straight and with that run under the belt, she looks nicely placed in this easier affair. WHISTLEFIELD (8) broke through for her second win when last seen at Moonee Valley over 1000m. The wide draw is a bit tricky but she can go on with the job here. THINK I'M DIVINE (10) resumes. He'll be better over a bit further but was running in some strong races last time in and will be charging late. ARCTIC FAIRY (5) can mix her form but is a chance on best while PICKY (7) can run a good race fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Princess Duhallow to win.
