GROWING EMPIRE (1) was right in contention when they turned for home and kept finding to finish third last start over 6f in the G1 The Everest at Randwick, beaten 1.3 lengths. Mark Zahra gets the best out of this three-year-old colt. Beautifully placed and is sure to be there at the finish. LADY OF CAMELOT (13) was sent out at long odds last time but ran above expectations to finish fourth, beaten only 1.4 lengths, over 6f in the G1 The Everest at Randwick. Should be poised just off the lead. Best form puts her right in this. TRAFFIC WARDEN (3) ran on strongly but just failed to pick up the winner last start over 7f in the G1 Golden Rose Stakes at Rosehill. Should be near his peak for this. The engagement of Jamie Kah is noteworthy. Finds a tougher race but he has the ability to test this field. BELLATRIX STAR (14) was a winner over 5½f in the G2 Schillaci Stakes at Caulfield last time out, dropping out early before coming home with a powerful run to score by half a length. Goes up a notch this time but cannot be underestimated.
