DUROVA (11) was well held in the Thoroughbred Breeders Stakes won by Tobeornottobe over 6f at Flemington at her last appearance five-and-a-half months ago. Very well placed in this company and looks hard to beat. SAN TAN TONI (8) stepped out for his debut over 5½f at Ballarat back on February 25 and finished fifth, beaten 5 lengths. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. TONKIN (12) is a three-year-old filly on debut from the stable of A & S Freedman. By Blue Point from Gridelin. Looks forward enough after a Cranbourne trial win. Respect any positive move in betting. TRIBAL LANDS (15) is a two-start maiden who resumed from a lay-off last start and was beaten 4.5 lengths when sixth over 5f at Echuca. Backmarker who gets home hard. A big run is expected.
