I AM THE EMPIRE (1) turned in a modest performance when eighth last start over 1m1f at Hawkesbury, beaten 7 lengths. That followed a good when resuming win at Randwick Kensington. Nicely placed to feature in the finish. AHURIRI (8) resumed three weeks ago over 1m1f at Hawkesbury and was only beaten 1.4 lengths into fifth. Has a solid second up record. Strips fitter and can feature. RATTLE AND HUM (3) has been out of the placings in two runs since a break, the latest when fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, over 7¾f at this track. Won at his only start at this longer journey and can find peak form this time. LUGARNO (9) was beaten 4 lengths into tenth over 7½f at Hawkesbury three weeks ago. Has his share of talent and is a top-three prospect.
