Anticipate Empusa, Dare To Fly and Slam Dunk to set a strong tempo. EMPUSA (6) best performance in four career runs when stalking the good speed on resumption for a narrow third over 1300m at Hawkesbury. Strengthened over the break and can go on with it now. SLAM DUNK (9) ready to peak after two runs back and drops sharply in weight with Fitzgerald's 2kg claim. Came out fast from the wide draw when found wanting late to secure third over 1000m at Scone. Can hold a forward position again and give a ton of cheek. DARE TO FLY (1) had mixed fortunes in her three career runs and finds an easier contest here. Freshened up after getting out of her ground early before making up a few lengths late when fourth over 1100m here on February 13. Don't underestimate. KERALA (4) massive form reversal at the big odds when attacking the line for a narrow second over 1200m at this track at her second race start. Will appreciate the extra trip again and expected to take a hand in the finish. SUGGESTED PLAY: Box Quinella 6,9,1,4.
