Verdict

REBEL TUESDAY (1) made the perfect return here two weeks ago, living right up to market expectation with an impressive win. She's sure to have tightened right up from that and can keep the momentum rolling with Opperman sticking. LA GITANA (2) chased Blue Diamond favourite Big Sky into third on debut at Caulfield - that alone is elite form. With natural improvement, she's the obvious danger. NEVER ORDINARY (9) is a Dirty Work filly on debut for the Cozamanis yard. She's come along nicely in her lead-up work and deserves respect, though this is no easy starting point. ARYNA (6) is a Spirit Of Boom filly for Jason Warren and has also shown handy signs in her preparation and is worth keeping in mind. IMAGE ARTIST (3) has the most race experience and looks the best of the rest.
