8 PRINCESS OF ALL ** 58.0 5 Maujean C Houdalakis M N ** First run - watch the betting! **
QUEENSLAND was a tad disappointing in her last start. It must be noted that Rifle Queen has come out and won again since. Her debut effort when second over 1160m at Turffontein was encouraging. The daughter of Querari has plenty of scope and with Muzi Yeni back in the saddle, she may be the horse to side with. EMPRESS WU ran a fair race over 1200m last time. She finished second in her only attempt over this C&D. Should the top choice fluff her lines, she may be the one to pick up the pieces. MISS MUNROE has had excuses in her last two starts. She finished third in her only attempt over this C&D. Calvin Habib retains the ride, and she would not be a shock winner. RACEWAY was in need of her debut effort over 1200m on this course. She would have come on from the run and should strip much fitter. Serino Moodley is riding at the top of his game and there should be good improvement to come.
