TEMPLIER will be a warm order to come good in this after just failing to haul in the winner at Musselburgh on last week's debut. That is much stronger form than Meister has shown to date so a newcomer is likely to prove a bigger threat. Cape Love cost $110,000 and Euchen Glen is related to a winner on the all-weather but Karl Burke has a fine strike rate with two-year-olds at the track so Pythius makes more appeal.
