ENTITLED PRINCESS (3) was safely held when fourth last time out over 1m3 1/4f at Geelong, beaten 4.5 lengths. That followed a win at Yarra Valley at the previous outing. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time. BORDER LEICESTER (1) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 1m3/4f at Geelong, beaten 3 lengths. Fitter this time. Hard to beat in this suitable race. BOX VALE (5) was safely held when eighth last time out over 1m1f at Caulfield, beaten 13 lengths. That followed a win at Cranbourne at the previous outing. Ideally placed and is sure to be there at the finish. RUN WALRUS RUN (4) drifted back and never threatened at his last run six days ago, finishing sixth over 1m3f at Sale. Looks well placed so expect a better run this time.
