CHARLEMAGNE (1) was beaten a nose at Orange and then lifted his figures again winning impressively here this grade over 1200m. Draws awkwardly again but arrives on a 7-day return and with average luck can repeat the dose. HOT BANDIT (9) got too far back at Canterbury but won well at Goulburn before that, building on the near miss here. Rates well and carries 3kg less at this level. Needs a good ride but Collett offsets to an extent replacing the 3kg apprentice. PROPHET'S PRIDE (2) led and was just caught here by Charlemagne. She has a 3kg claimer aboard today and is sure to give a sight. The Olive-trained pair EPAULLO CREED (4) and MISS STALWART (10) are likely to be around the mark.
