Genuine pace with War Princess finding the front but it won't be a picnic with a few other speedy types engaged. ORIGIN OF LOVE (3) is a very promising filly who was a sound fifth in the G1 1000 Guineas at Riccarton 6 weeks ago. She was a G3 winner there before that, and she should go close to taking this out. WAR PRINCESS (1) got to be within a head of completing a hat-trick of wins when finishing runner-up in Stakes company at Whanganui 3 weeks ago. She will relish the step up to a mile, and can bounce straight back into the winner's circle here. THE DIRTY DEE (4) was an easy winner as expected on debut when going around as an odds-on favourite, and then was only beaten by a neck here 2 weeks ago. The extra furlong is ideal, and she will be hard to hold out. CAPACI (6) bolted in on debut on her home track 16 days ago, and won't be bothered by stepping up to a mile here. There is more depth to this field, but she has the scope to go on with the job. CHEEKY DEVIL (7) lifted late when getting up to score by a nose at Arawa Park last start. She goes straight to a mile, and can't be risked. SUGGESTED PLAY: Origin Of Love will be hard to beat, as will War Princess, in a strong field.
