Cracking Diana Stakes renewal. GIMMIE'S COUNTESS showed considerable promise as a 2yo and was unlucky at Grade 1 level. She is likely to prove better than rated as a 3yo and is an attractive betting proposition on her reappearance under just 51.5kg. MISS WORLD and DIXIELAND BAND are also open to improvement after promising juvenile campaigns but have a bit to find on official ratings. As such, a bigger threat could come from PRINCESS IZZY and RAINBOW LORIKEET who are consistent, distance-suited older rivals with superior fitness on their side. SUMMER LILY and MY FLOWER FATE aren't discounted.
Handy-no extra late when 5/2 and 4th of 5 runners, 3.65 lengths behind KINDA WONDERFUL over 1500m at KENILWORTH on 22 June 24. Good 2yo, improve as 3yo?.
Comfortable winner when 7/2 and 1st of 13 runners, 0.75 lengths ahead RAINBOW LORIKEET over 1600m at FAIRVIEW on 02 August 24. Consistent, be in the mix.
Off pace - no show when 8/1 and 8th of 11 runners, 3.65 lengths behind SOUTHERN SKIES over 1250m at DURBANVILLE on 03 September 24. Lost form, better 7f/draw.
Led, faded - vet/ND when 50/1 and 6th of 6 runners, 12.60 lengths behind BEACH BOMB over 1800m at KENILWORTH on 06 January 24. Off 266 days - just watch.
Awk-slow-stayed on when 5/1 and 7th of 11 runners, 2.40 lengths behind SOUTHERN SKIES over 1250m at DURBANVILLE on 03 September 24. Has form to be competitve.
