The Grade1 THE PRINCESS BOWL SPRINT

Queensland welcomes the racey young girls of the world to see who’s tops G1 turf sprinting filly . And what a field it is containing 10 of the top 20 turf fillies. Let now take a look at these girls as they prepare to leave the parade ring.

#5 ranked filly who has stepped up well to 8f but may find this distance 6f more to her liking . S he won the 6f Fauster’s juvenile G1 at 2 .She is the winner of over $1 million and that ranks her in the highest company. This daughter of SEEKING THE GOLD has a lot to recommend her having perform in all class as well as running 100sp on numerous occasions . She has won 8 from 17 and also ran in Equinics early this year. Should race on pace and take a lot of running down in stretch

#3 ranked filly has found 6f right to her liking in her last 2 run 2^nd in the G1 THE GREEN BULLET IN 1:10 with an 97sp. Then running 2^nd four weeks ago in the G2 WILTED PETAL STAKES in Italy with a 104sp. Has won 5 of 16 and being by SOUTHERN HALO can be expected to run great sprint here. Should run just behind pace and close at the end.

#16 ranked filly has run consistently in stakes races .Will be interesting to see how she handles the step up to grade here. By SKIP AWAY she should sprint well .Her dam QUEEN’S CATS is 1 of only a few A grade mare in game with 14 Graded wins in her career and earnings of $3,997,430 . If this filly is half as good as her mum she may be the surprise package Another who races just behind pace.

Has not raced for sometime she may have been injured. This SINGINGINTHERAIN filly has won a couple of stakes races .But may find this a little tough. Her racing style suggests she will get back in field . Look for her to be doing her best work in last furlong.

#12 ranked filly she is the 1^st foal of stakes winning hemare ROYAL SIGNAL

She has won in stakes company and been placed in grade races. She has run 100sp in 3 of her last for races and is coming to form at right time for this race This filly is by A.P. INDY one of the best all round stallions in sim and she can be expected to go over more ground in future odds maker’s say she will be right in finish. Will run in midfield and close late.

#20 ranked filly has been racing over longer trips of late .She is a G1winner over 8.5f 6 starts back in the How Are You Gentleman Cup. By GREEN DESERT she is a true grade performer having run in G1s in her last 7 starts. At odds of 10/1 may be the 1 for the punter looking for a better price. Runs right up on pace so this is going to be a tight run thing

#7 COSMO GIRL THEOC2 6/1 C BOLLINGER

The #4 ranked filly has run in Queensland on the last 2 occasions for a win in the G3 Train Station Stakes over 7.5f at her last start. By STORM CAT she is a winner of 8 from 16 it will be interesting to see if the drop back in distance has only raced over 6f twice for a 2^nd in her 1^st start and a fast closing 5^th 3 starts ago in THE GREEN BULLET G1 in 1:10 .As #4 ranked filly deserves respect and should be deep closer again over this distance.

#1 ranked and the worthy holder of the crown. She has services of the #1 jockey in Queensland with a 28% winning average. There’s not much this filly hasn’t done winning THE GREEN BULLET G1 2 starts ago accounting for most of her rivals here Easily the best runner by TESTA ROSSA(AUS) she represents the local breeding industry. If this scribe was to place his money somewhere at 8/1 this is where I would be putting it. Another pace runner and the one to run down.

The winner of 6 from 15 an $365,000 in stakes. This daughter of EL PRADO(IRE) has come all the way from the U.S.A to run in this race. Ran 3^rd in the G3 THE SCARY MOVIE SPECIAL over 7.5 f and won 2 stakes races prior to that one against older company. Has switched to turf lately and seems to like it Likely to trail leaders and finish on in stretch.

Another American visitor who has raced on turf and has shown class in stakes races . Yet to run in G1 company so that’s a question mark in this type of race . But as the winner of 6 from 17 .This BRAHMS filly must be respected. Another who will close late might run into money at long odds.

Another A.P. INDY filly in the field .Has shown all her form from 8 to 8.5 f and has never tried 6f so we have to look at her racing style .Has run on better over 8f than over 6.5 f .won over 7.5 f last time out in THE LAST SAPRANO’S Challenge Stakes in Iowa with a 104sp.Will trail leaders and be running on at end of race. Adds to puzzle.

#10 ranked filly has travelled the world to race over the last 6 months. Trained by local trainer biznes this MILWAUKEE BREWER filly has done him and. Queensland residency proud and all the locals will be out cheering her on. Has won 10 from 21 and is the other $million earner in field. Seems to be able to handle most distances.

#11 ranked DANZERO(AUS) filly who 3 starts ago won the G3 Blond And Freckled Handicap in Ireland .Ran a 103sp that day and has won over 6f as well in 1:10.

Another dropping back in distance for this one. On pace runner meaning a hot pace is evident.

Last but definitely not least .The #6 ranked filly is the fastest 6f runner in race having won The Wilted Petal Stakes G2 in 1:09 last time out 107sp. By SEEKING THE GOLD she has won 11 from 17 and $ 659,000 in earnings. Mid field runner who looks 1 to beat here with so much pace up front.

A great field of filly I can guarantee this will be a race worth watching even with BB on this week ‘
