OUR EMPRESS ZOE (15) turned in a solid when resuming effort at Sandown-Hillside then wasn't beaten all that far last time when sixth at Caulfield over 1m. Beautifully placed and is sure to play a major role. FANCYLANSKI (6) finished 1.4 lengths away in seventh last time out over 7f at Bendigo after being in the firing line on the turn a week-and-a-half ago. Tackles a longer journey this time. Facing a tougher assignment but expected to measure up. AMLETO (9) resumed last start over 7½f at Yarra Valley and showed little early speed, settling well back but hitting the line hard to finish third, beaten 1.75 lengths. One of the main contenders. SPLASH BACK (12) finished third last time over 1m at Caulfield, beaten 1.5 lengths. Has the class to take care of this field.
