Verdict

FRONTEX (8) confidence is high and can keep the winning momentum going now. Back in class when taken forward for a convincing on-pace victory over this trip at Randwick Kensington. Gets the gun run today and will prove hard to run down with the 4lbs weight drop. Genuine each way player. BARTOLF (2) proven at this level and gives the impression he will relish the 7f. Strong late when a narrow second over 6 ½f at Rosehill. Will appreciate the good tempo and no shock to see him finish over the top of them. APPLAUD (6) sound first up win at Kembla Grange, then held on late to run third over 6 ½f at Rosehill. Winkers go on and no excuses from the inside barrier. DASHING RUPERT (10) had mixed luck this time in and capable of causing an upset if he gets the right run. Improver with top-three prospects. DUVANA (11) first run for the new yard he sprinted quickly to salute over 6 ¼f on the Beaumont (Newcastle) track. Talented gelding not to be underestimated with Roper's claim.
