Moderate pace only with She Rex leading Sussex Duchess. Tricky one. DANCING DOLLY (8) had been coming along well before a slightly disappointing effort at Geelong last time out as favourite, beaten three lengths into sixth. She's always promised plenty with an array of short starting prices, and with any luck from the wide gate she can repay the faith. FLOWERDALE (9) is a lightly raced type who has been close up in two runs to date, working home well on heavy ground at Sale last time out. Won't need to improve much to go one better here. NAVY NINA (10) resumed as favourite at Geelong and ran okay for third, albeit beaten a long way. Had issues there and now gets Shinn on. Can improve sharply. SUSSEX DUCHESS (14) has placed in her past couple and can sneak into the finish. SHE REX (13) was poor at Goulburn last time but had been racing well in NSW prior and should be respected. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dancing Dolly on top.
