GOING: S(5)

AQUIS STALLIONS PRINCESS STAKES 1600m

Track: SOFT 5   Rain (Max: 23)   Rail: Out 3m Entire. (Pent: 5.9).  

Strong early tempo likely with several going forward, headed by Torabella. Chris Waller's FIRESTORM (11) has returned in good order. Won a mid-weeker at the Kensington track first-up then closed well to be beaten under two lengths in the Group 3 Carbine Club over the Randwick Mile during the Championships. Just needs luck from the tricky draw to be right in the finish. WAIKATO GIRL (9) ran on nicely for third in the Group 3 Kembla Classic over this trip before struggling at ten furlongs in the Adrian Knox last time. Back to her right distance and the blinkers go on so it will be no surprise to see her bounce back. MISS JOELENE (3) has impressed at both runs this time in work, albeit against easier opposition. Very fit and looks ready for another crack at the mile. PIER PRESSURE (5) steps up sharply in grade on her last start second over this distance at Warwick Farm. Did fill a placing in Militarize's Inglis Sires' so she is capable on her day. Last Saturday's Daybreak Lover winner EXOTIQUE MISS (2) continues to improve and cannot be left out. SUGGESTED PLAY: Keen on Firestorm each-way at nice odds.
