HAVELOVEWILLTRAVEL made a winning start over track and trip but the winner had flown before she had reached top gear when back here for her handicap debut. Still learning, she's capable of better and is preferred to the more exposed Princess Spirit. The latter is chasing a hat trick after a couple of victories over course and distance while Natalia is a lightly-raced type to keep an eye on. Authoritarian is getting no closer despite sliding down the weights and the same can be said of Malih.
