DUKE OF BEDFORD (3) came off the flat and was beaten a whisker at Warrnambool. He's won three times over the fences and will take beating. THE MIGHTY SPAR (2) finished a head behind the above in that contest in a nice return to jumping. Keeps Pateman and will be given every chance to close the gap. PORT GUILLAUME (1) is a handy flat performer and has gone around in a recent Ballarat trial. Returns to the jumps, and no surprise if he goes well. FORT CHARLES (6) and CARNAMAH (4) may be the pair to fill out the minors. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Duke Of Bedford.
