Group 2 placegetter EXTREME DIVA (4) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a lay-off on April 6 finishing fourth and beaten 5.5 lengths over 5½f in the G3 Kindergarten Stakes at Randwick. Strong chance to kick the campaign off on the right note. GANGSTA GRANNY (5) is a filly Written Tycoon who cost AUD $ 240,000 (Inglis 2023 Australian Easter Yearling Sale) as a yearling and kicks off here. Won most recent trial. Profiles well, looks set for a strong run. PEARLER (7) is a filly by D'argento out of Redan Lane on debut. Sure to have come on from a recent trial. Worth watching for positive market moves. RUNRANIRUN (8) is a three-year-old mare on debut by Press Statement from Marju Rani who has thrown plenty of winners to date. Took out her most recent trial at Hawkesbury. Should get all the favours from this good gate and should play a big role.
