Verdict

THE SHAPER (3) tough gelding who strips fitter and can tick the 1m box today. Faded late in the heavy (9) going to run seventh over 7f at this track. Has a solid SP profile and expected to go close. EPAULLO CREED (4) looking for the 1m fourth-up. Had genuine excuses when failing to get through the heavy going and dropped out to run last over 7f at this track. Looking for an improving surface and can make a quick form reversal. MAHOGANY GIRL (2) holding her form this prep and ready for the 1m fifth-up. Gripped on late with the 134lbs to run fifth over 7f at this track after racing on the pace for much of the way. Value prospect. BON FRANKIE (5) proven over this distance and will find this more to his liking after being outclassed in town when sixth over 7f at Randwick Kensington. Claim helps from the good draw. MISS STALWART (7) fitter now and looking for this trip and further. Goes into the exotics.
