Moderate tempo headed by Just The Potion. EXTREMELY WICKED (3) resumes after a lengthy spell and makes her stable debut for the smart R & C Jolly yard. She’s since shown encouraging signs with a recent dominant trial win, suggesting she’s come back in good order and is raring to go. DAISYDOO (8) was placed in her last start before a break and comes into this off a solid trial hit-out. She has shown enough to suggest she can be competitive in a race of this nature. STARS ARE ALIGNING (10) is a likely improver in her second prep and is worth including with natural improvement expected. ORIENTAL DANE (9) steps out on debut and is a market watch. SUGGESTED PLAY: Extremely Wicked to win.
