RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: OUR PRINCESS DI (2) has great gate speed and should be able to map well. She is first up for new trainer Michael Gadsden and may appreciate the change in scenery, as she is a fast mare at her best. Luke Dunne also takes the drive for the first time. She will need to improve on her last start, but it is likely she will.  DIVINE TILLY (3) is a nice mare when at her peak. However, she has probably been a little below her best this preparation and has also encountered some bad luck. Her run last start was improved, making a sustained wide run before hitting the line okay for fourth. Also strongly respecting HAPPENSTBABEACHBOY (13). He has a tricky barrier, but is racing well and the Ashleigh Herbertson stable is flying. TEX GOES BANG (5) seems to race best when he can be up on speed and making his own luck. He gets the opportunity to map suitably here if he can get forward.  BACK: OUR PRINCESS DI (2) – 2 units (win)
