Strong tempo with Zali's Gift and Admire Belle leading the way over Arno River. HOT CHIX LANE (4) got back from the wide draw fresh but closed well when only 1.2L off the winner. Out in trip is a big tick today and she's laid a good foundation to build on this campaign. Can raise the bar now and knock over her maiden. JEMCONI (5) was sound in her debut campaign but looks to have gone to another level this campaign judging by her latest trial. Pike hopping board for her return effort is a positive sign and she maps to get every chance from the draw. Ticks plenty of boxes and appears the main danger. ZALI'S GIFT (3) is another first-up runner today with some nice trials under her belt. She's 0/11, but Fiore sticks from the trials and she was trending the right way last time in. Can make an impression. SPLENDIDA (10) can feature in the finish on debut. NEUBRONNER (7) was good from the back on debut at a big price and is worth including. SUGGESTED PLAY: Hot Chix Lane can get the job done.
