Genuine tempo with the speedy Azytass leading the way. INHABIT (4) returns for the Hickmott camp. Wasted no time getting off the mark on debut and living up to the short quote but couldn't go on with it after that. Stable obviously hold a high opinion of the filly looking at the races she was thrown in in her first prep. Looks to have come back in good order. Bold showing anticipated. CHICA ASTUTA (2) was also a debut winner, scoring well on the Parks surface back in February before spelling immediately. Fitter for two jumpouts back in Vic and gets the blinkers applied with Callow booked. Should be playing a role. PRETTY BABY (1) put it all together third-up when taking out the LR David Peacock (Oaklands) Plate back in June. Drops back to a sprinting trip off a six week freshen and deserves obvious consideration. AZYTASS (6) made a winning return at Balaklava last month when showing good tactical speed at Balaklava. This is obviously much tougher now. SIDEBAR (5) returns and looks best of the rest with Holder booked. SUGGESTED PLAY: Inhabit to return a winner.
