Genuine tempo with Extreme Virtue leading the way. EXTREME VIRTUE (2) is a progressive 4yo mare who resumed with a narrow win at Bendigo in a 0-64, starting favourite and proving too strong on speed. She'll likely lead here and her form last time in reads well. FAYETTA (5) was a winner at Sandown Lakeside two back before a sound third behind Federer who is odds-on in early betting at Caulfield on Saturday. Expecting that form to hold up strongly. DUVACH (1) won well fresh at Geelong and will only be fitter. She's a nice type who should go close again. BELLE INFERNO (4) was close up in fourth in this grade fresh and should be hard to hold out over this trip. SHE'S TERNACIOUS (3) is in the each-way mix. SUGGESTED PLAY: Extreme Virtue to win.
