AL DUCA (4) finished second when resuming two runs back at Echuca then progressed nicely last time out to score by a long neck as favourite over 7½f at Sandown-Hillside. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. THE CREATOR (1) continues to race well with a win in a at Moonee Valley before finishing 1.5 lengths away in third last time over 1m at Moonee Valley. Has the pace to settle in the leading division. Expected to be in the finish. PRESSER (8) is struggling to break through but hasn't been far away, the latest effort a fifth, beaten 2 lengths, over 1m at Moonee Valley. Beau Mertens stays aboard and although yet to win has been in the money on three occasions. Sure to be competitive. SHOELESS (6) ran a better race last start, finishing 3.5 lengths away in sixth over 1m1f at this track. Capable of featuring prominently.
