HIGHFIELD PRINCESS had race fitness on her side when landing this a year ago, and while she's no banker to be fully tuned this time, this triple Group 1 winner may still outclass these. Australian-raider The Astrologist brings totally different formlines to the table and he's a fascinating contender, with Creative Force completing the shortlist turned out quickly following a success at Haydock on Saturday.
