HAMPTON PALACE (7) is yet to break through after five career starts. Managed to fill a minor placing at Hamilton two starts back before finishing fourth over 7f at Cranbourne last time. Won't get too many better chances to open his account. KATE'S TIARA (13) is a three-start maiden who returned last time and finished fourth at Stony Creek over 5½f, beaten 2 lengths. Fitter for that outing and is a great chance to break her maiden status. LAMINAR (8) is a maiden galloper resuming. After a lay-off of six months. Closed last campaign with a sixth over 6f at Moe, beaten 9 lengths. Looks to be in good order after placing in a trial. One of the contenders. LUCKY DUCK (14) resumes from a lay-off of ten weeks and is having her outing under new trainer John Salanitri. Finished eighth at Cranbourne over 5f at the opening run last time in work. Placed in a recent trial.
