Epaulette Prince or Starter to take the lead and attempt to control the tempo. BUSH INFERENCE (1) won this grade/trip by a commanding 4.2L before dropping right out as the favourite at Oakbank (vet cleared). He arrives on a 7-day backup, and Monday's Adelaide Cup-winning hoop Milnes sticks aboard. The gelding is well-placed to make amends. GOT AN INSPIRATION (3) came out of the same contest and wasn't beaten far. He was back in trip off a shot at Group 3 level, and Crowther will likely present him late. EPAULETTE PRINCE (2) steps up in trip off a narrow defeat at Penola over a mile. Has a senior jockey aboard today and should be around the mark. Ditto LADY TUCAN (11), who is in light with the 3kg claimer aboard. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Bush Inference.
