SUSSEX DUCHESS (7) raced once in the maiden campaign when fourth at Geelong over 6f22yards back on December 5. Much better for that run and can get off the mark this time. SHAMATEUR (5) wound up strongly last time out to finish 0.9 lengths adrift in third over 5f at this track. Harry Coffey has registered two minor placings when on board. Will strip fitter and is one of the big chances. ORTIGIAN GIRL (6) resumes from a lay-off of four-and-a-half months after two solid runs during the maiden campaign, the latest a fourth over 6f at Mornington. Has trialled two times leading into this and can get off the mark this time. MOAKSUN (3) finished second last time over 5½f at Ballarat when resuming from a lay-off, beaten 2.75 lengths. Suitably placed so anticipating another forward showing.
