Expecting Epaullo Creed to take up the running with Too Big and Dreamstone close at hand. DUPLI KATE (4) is a distance specialist who looks ready to peak third-up. Big jump in grade when she found them too sharp over 1300m at Rosehill in VM78 grade. Adept in all conditions and has a good record at this track and trip. Finds the right race this time and can turn things around. EPAULLO CREED (5) deep into the campaign and deserves another chance after he stepped up in trip for a fading on-pace sixth over 1600m at Wagga. Assess on the good second three-starts back. Each way contender. MAHOGANY GIRL (3) stretched out to the 1600m for the first time this prep with a poor eighth over 1600m at Wagga in the heavy (10) conditions. Finds a better race today with the senior rider going back on. Has genuine each-way claims. FUTURE FUND (8) came back in trip and improved sharply with a dominant on-pace win over 1400m at Wagga. Gets map favours and can take catching again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dupli Kate looks ready to peak in this easier race.
