WALLER’S A BIG FAN OF THIS GIRL

Fangirl defeated Mr Brightside who suffered his first loss for the spring in easy fashion.

While at Caulfield, Alligator Blood had little trouble taking out that Might And Power Stakes proving 2000 metres isn’t an issue for him.

Considering Mr Brightside defeated Alligator Blood before he won his last two starts at weight-for-age level the form-line is impeccable.

The fact that Fangirl was able to sprint past Mr Brightside without any trouble underlines the strength of her form line.

Fangirl can also boast form through her nemesis Anamoe who defeated her in three Group 1 wins.

Fangirl is $8.50 to win the Cox Plate with Playup.

Meanwhile on Sunday, James McDonald gave Hong Kong star Romantic Warrior a gallop at The Valley and he said he handled the circuit with aplomb and felt fitter than he did in the Turnbull Stakes.

The presence of Gold Trip is also looming large as he will be suited by what is likely to be a high pressure race.
