Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. LAVISH CHARM (1) was very good first-up at Pinjarra when only 1L off the winner over 1200m. He drops back in trip slightly today, but that doesn't appear a big issue, though he is likely to go back from the draw. Has shown plenty of class in his recent efforts and can make his presence felt now. NEW HYMN SHEET (8) is on debut for Team Williams and gets Pike in the saddle on the back of a nice trial coming into this. She was down to start on Boxing Day when scratched at the gates for refusing to load. Looks as though the chinks have been ironed out and she can make a statement. NICCIANA (3) is another debutant out of the Listed winner Viana. Three of his 4 siblings have won races up to 2000m, but he's shown plenty of sharpness at the trials. CJP sticks from the trials and he won't be far away. DARK OPAL (5) has been solid in recent efforts and maps to sit closer this time around. Can put her best foot forward. KUNAPIPI (6) is better than she showed last start and can bounce back. SUGGESTED PLAY: Lavish Charm gets the nod in the opener.
