Solid tempo set by Philia and Heat Missile. The $160,000 Listed Princess Stakes. HARLEM QUEEN (1) is a very consistent conveyance who is yet to miss the top-four in nine career starts including placing at Group 2 level last time out. Should find this assignment a touch easier and drawn to get a nice sit in running from gate five. Sure to be right there when the whips are cracking. MERIDIANA (6) looked handy winning on the Kenso surface on debut before just missing the placings at Listed level at the latest effort. Respect the fillies from the Sargent yard. The penny has dropped for the well-related PHILIA (5) (half to 3xG1 winner Duais and G3 winner Baccarat Baby) who has put back-to-back wins together this campaign and is racing in a rich vein of form. Cannot be discounted. PLEASURE ARTIST (2) strips fitter third-up and will be ready to show something now. In the mix. PINITO (10) is yet to miss a drum in eight starts to date and should be added to the exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Harlem Queen to salute.
