LINCOLN ROCKS (7) turned in a nice effort last time out at the second run of the campaign and finished just a long neck from the winner in third over 1m2 1/4f at Moonee Valley after being in contention on the bend. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to take this out. CHASING APHRODITE (8) wasn't far away when resuming last start when fourth over 1m1f at Caulfield. May appreciate the longer journey with that run under the belt. Usually performs well with that run under his belt. Should camp just off the leaders. Expecting a bold showing. ARUGAMAMA (6) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when 13th, beaten 8 lengths, over 1m in the LR Balaklava Cup after she settled well back. Scored at her only try at this trip and is among the leading chances. I AM THE EMPIRE (10) was well in commission last time but ran below expectations when fourth and beaten 2 lengths over 1m4f at Sandown-Hillside. Has a high cruising speed. Should give backers a sight.
