Race Tip

CHISHOLM (9) is a maiden galloper who finished in the placings over 5f in stakes class at Flemington before going for a break six months ago. Fitter for two trials, placing most recently. Ready to open her account. ESHA (10) is a very well bred filly who is by Extreme Choice from the stakes winning dam I Am A Star and was an AUD $ 900,000 (Magic Millions 2024 Gold Coast Yearling Sale) yearling. Recent trial winner over 5f at Mornington. Drawn well and among the leading chances. CALADAN (2) first time out after just one run in first campaign where he finished among the placegetters at Murray Bridge. Sure to be improved by a trial and must be included in calculations. RICH LADY (3) showed good early speed then led into the straight when fresh from a lay-off last start before fighting on to finish second, beaten a neck, over 5¼f at Oakbank. Has ability and a bold showing is expected.
