SUSSEX DUCHESS (6) is a maiden galloper who finished in the placings over 6½f at Bendigo before going for a break five months ago. Fitter for two trials, placing most recently. Looks set for a bright return. INSPIRING (4) made an encouraging debut last time out, finishing 3. 5 lengths from the winner in fourth over 6f at Mornington. Can get off the mark this time. BOURDETO (8) is a filly by Capitalist out of Damodice who is at the races for the first time. Fitter for a recent trial win. A betting push will add to the confidence. BURLEIGH (2) was beaten 2. 5 lengths into second at Horsham two starts ago then finished 1. 75 lengths from the winner in fifth last time at Warrnambool. Drawn for a good trail just off the pace. Can feature with the right run.
