CHLOE FIRST (5) is a maiden galloper resuming. After a lay-off of five months. Closed last campaign with a fourth over 6f at Benalla, beaten 4. 5 lengths. Fitter for two lead-up trials, including a win. Among the leading chances. BOLD SUITOR (2) is a maiden galloper resuming from a lay-off after finishing fifth over 5f at Mornington at the latest appearance on December 23. Tuned right up with two lead-up trials. Expected to feature. SASSIDORA (8) was in the firing line on the corner and finished third last start over 5f at Cranbourne, beaten 10 lengths. Has the class to take this out. BIG KAPOW (1) gelding from the Rory Hunter stable on debut. On the back of some strong trials. Looks ready to make a bright start.
