SHINKO PRINCESS has done everything but win this summer and has rarely been beaten far. She was always in the front rank and led at the furlong pole until caught close home at Down Royal last time and this is a much quicker track, even on testing ground. She had Court Queen, Clare Island, Slumming Angel and Look Of Love behind that day and there doesn't appear any reason for a form reversal. The front-running Hushing had been racing over much further before dropping back to 6f at Fairyhouse where she didn't get the run of the race. She had Kendwar and Tide Of Time behind and looks the main threat.
