PRINCESS CELINE (5) did a great job to score by 6 lengths over this course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Perfectly placed and is sure to play a pivotal role. LITTLE BIT O STORM (3) is poised to win after placing at her last three outings, most recently when second over 1308m at Delta Downs (Dirt) when she was prominent throughout. Well placed and there is no reason she cannot find winning ways. ILLY SIMZ (1) landed her maiden success over this course and distance last time, scoring by 4 lengths. Looks well placed and she is a great chance to go back-to-back. SAFECRACKER SUE (7) finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 1207m at this track (Dirt) when she made late ground, beaten 9 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating a big run again.
