Despite winning by just a neck at Down Royal CURRAHEEN PRINCESS always had matters under control and can go in again. Tai Sing Yeh has now won ten races though was beaten in a claimer last time but Collective Power wasn't at his best at Down Royal after winning two of his previous four. Only Spoofing and Inishmot Prince are both capable of winning this at their best though have a bit to find on recent form.
