Verdict

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION (10) was just beaten in the G1 2000 Guineas in November last year. Made up many lengths for 4th in the G2 Foxbridge Plate when fresh and good late again last time but just missed. Take beating here. MEDIA WORLD (1) was a game 3rd after leading in the G1 Proisir Plate then didn't finish off when crowded 4f out in the G1 Mile here last time. Pay to forgive. TARDELLI (3) got back & ran on well in the G1 Foxbridge when fresh then ran on nicely behind Well Written in the G1 Proisir Plate last time. Wide draw no help here. WAR PRINCESS (8) impressive wins in both starts this prep, leading all the way fresh then bombing them from a handy run last time. ARABIAN SONGBIRD (9) big late run from the rear when fresh at Ellerslie last time & has a good record 2nd-up. Respect.
