Verdict

SHALASH (8) justified the good support on debut when she rounded them up with ease to draw clear over 5f at Gosford. Comes to town at the right time with Fitzgerald's 7lbs claim. Solid top-three contender. EXTREMELY TEMPTED (1) sent straight to the front and never headed on debut with a slick victory over 5 ½f at Hawkesbury. Appears to have further upside and looks up to this tougher assignment from the sticky draw. Go close. LADY CATALINA (7) returns from a short break after proving too sharp for them on debut over 4 ½f at Newcastle. Since kept up to the mark with a 4 ½f trial placing. Can slide across from the wide gate and hold a forward position. Each-way. BANGKOK HOTTIE (2) dropped in grade from the better gate with an effortless Maiden win over 6f at Warwick Farm. Can stalk the fast speed and expected to be in the finish. I AM DIRTY (12) I Am Invincible filly from Dirty Thoughts on debut for the Baker yard. All three trials have been sound and worth thought.
