Not a big field but many face the starter for the first time so the pace should be genuine. CHISHOLM (9) is an exciting filly resuming from a sharp Victorian yard and brings serious form to the table. She made an immediate impression last spring, finishing second in the LR Inglis Banner at Flemington. Two slick jump-outs have her primed for a bold return. ESHA (10) is royally bred, by Extreme Choice out of G1 winner I Am A Star, and has shown real potential in her jump-outs. With a soft draw and big expectations, she could make a statement on debut. CALADAN (2) showed promise in his only start, placing in a strong maiden at Murray Bridge. A solid trial and a key booking in Toeroek suggest he is ready to run well fresh. SUGGESTED PLAY: Chisholm to win.
