Epaullo Creed should find the front with Capital Heart and Beauer on his heels. Good little contest with a host of chances. DUPLI KATE (8) eye-catching effort first up when third to the promising Tuileries over 1400m at Warwick Farm in a high rating BM72. Clearly come back well and senior rider hops on today. Genuine top-three contender. BON FRANKIE (3) is retaining his zest for racing and indicated a win was imminent when looming strongly for a close-up fourth over 1300m at Canberra. Backs up quickly and maps to get the gun run. EPAULLO CREED (4) taken to the front from the outset and over raced in the middle stages when fading in the straight to run sixth over 1300m at Canberra. Apprentice keeps the ride, and he has a good set of figures here. MASTER RILEY (6) returned from a lengthy break with a plugging ninth over 1250m at Randwick Kensington in BM72 grade. Had excuses from the outside gate last start and drawn the rails for this. Improver. SUGGESTED PLAY: Dupli Kate will take holding out.
