Expecting Shimmy Shake to take up the running with Pure Chemistry and Shadoff close at hand. PURE CHEMISTRY (7) is a two-start maiden who was close to a win before an 18 month break, finishing off with a minor placing at Tokyo Dirt. Can pick up where she left off and looks all set to kick the campaign off the right way. SHADOFF (11) ran a nice race last time out, finishing second and beaten only 2.5 lengths over 1230m at this track. It doesn't get any easier but on her best form she is right in contention. IRON MOON (4) lines up for the first time since December 10. Started the last campaign impressively when in the placings over 1230m here. Worth plenty of thought while fresh. SHIMMY SHAKE (1) was in the firing line on the turn and finished second last start at the first run back from a spell over 820m at this venue, beaten 5 lengths. Finds a tougher race but a big run is on the cards.
