SPIRIT OF SHIMLA (9) is poised to win after placing at her last three outings, most recently when second over 1400m at Greyville. Has her share of talent. Hard to beat in this suitable race. TAYLOR'S VERSION (2) started at $5 last time and ran below expectations, finishing seventh and beaten 4.5 lengths at Durbanville over 1400m. Finds the right race this time and can find winning form. PRINCESS TRIPPI (10) is a three-start maiden who could only manage to finish fourth at her latest appearance over 1400m at Greyville. Among the chances in what looks a nice race for her. WARRIOR ROSE (13) is a two-start maiden who was close to a win before a 11 weeks break, finishing off with a minor placing at Greyville All Weather. Taking on a longer trip to kick off this prep. Nicely placed and can feature in the finish.
