Contours and Is Extreme will press forward in a keen battle for the lead. CONTOURS (1) resumes having raced three times to date. He showed enough there, beaten under a length on debut at Geelong, to suggest he'd be knocking off a maiden this time in. This lacks depth and he sets up well on speed. MY SHALONA (11) tried hard on the turf here last start, sitting on speed and boxing on for a distant third on heavy ground. Switches to synthetic now but is rock-hard fit and has claims. MAJESTIC CHOICE (10) has been fair in two runs back and will be better for them, up in trip and onto the firmer footing here should suit nicely. ARBENITA (7) is a filly by Ghaiyyath on debut. Jump outs have been okay but the bar isn't set too high. DONE MY JOB (3) has been solid in two runs back and is in the mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Contours to win.
