Duchess Dora Fancied..."bold show expected"


Duchess Dora will bid for her third win at Sandown from as many starts when she lines up in the totesport.com Scurry Stakes.

John Quinn's three-year-old won off a mark of 80 at the track as a juvenile and a 14lb higher mark was not enough to stop her making a winning return to the Esher venue in April.

She has since acquitted herself well in good company at Chester and York and Quinn is expecting a bold show this weekend.

"She obviously loves the place and is in good form, so we're looking forward to it," said Quinn.

"She was third in a good race at York last time and I've been very pleased with her since. This has been the plan for a while because she likes the track so much and it would be just the job if we can get her to win a Listed race."
