Many of these step out for the first time so a genuine tempo is expected. SHALASH (8) justified the good support on debut when she rounded them up with ease to draw clear over 1000m at Gosford. Comes to town at the right time with Fitzgerald's 3kg claim. Solid top-three contender. EXTREMELY TEMPTED (1) sent straight to the front and never headed on debut with a slick victory over 1100m at Hawkesbury. Appears to have further upside and looks up to this tougher assignment from the sticky draw. Go close. LADY CATALINA (7) returns from a short break after proving too sharp for them on debut over 900m at Newcastle. Since kept up to the mark with a 900m trial placing. Can slide across from the wide gate and hold a forward position. Each-way. BANGKOK HOTTIE (2) dropped in grade from the better gate with an effortless Maiden win over 1200m at Warwick Farm. Can stalk the fast speed and expected to be in the finish. I AM DIRTY (12) I Am Invincible filly from Dirty Thoughts on debut for the Baker yard. All three trials have been sound and worth thought. SUGGESTED PLAY: Shalash each-way.
