Quality performer Casino Princess (Casino Prince-Sonsy, by Thorn Park) won the Listed Tauranga Classic at her last start and is looking to pick up more black type, reports racingnews.co.nz. “It was great, she really deserved it because she’s a very kind filly who anyone can ride and she always tries. I was very happy with her,” trainer Cliff Goss said. “She’s done really well, she hadn’t had a race for quite a while when she won that and since then she’s really come ahead. I galloped her on Monday, I like to give them three days after to ensure they’re nice and fresh. She worked really well so she hasn’t done much since then, she had a little canter around this morning. It was the only race we could put her in really, we want to go to the Foxbridge Plate which is also at 1200. I would’ve liked her to run at 1400, but I’ve freshened her up a bit and she’s won at the distance before, earlier on. I think she’s more of a miler now, she’s gotten stronger and matured a lot. I believe she could win a race like an Easter Handicap (Gr3, 1600m). We’ll definitely look to get her out to that distance in the spring, but we only have the shorter distances in open grade at this stage available for her.” Casino Princess has won five of her eleven starts including her last two in succession.”
