FIRST EMPIRE (3) looks close to a win after finishing in the money at both runs, the latest when second at Doomben over 6¾f. Going well and is sure to measure up. GO MARO (4) is a two-start maiden who was unplaced on debut then improved to finish second last time over 7f at Gold Coast, beaten a nose. Has the addition of blinkers. Great chance to break through. SPOT THE AUSSIE (7) drifted back on debut last start then came home soundly to be beaten 2.75 lengths into seventh over 6f at Doomben. Should be competitive. SAVEUR (12) was out of the money when resuming from a lay-off last start over 6¾f at Doomben, beaten 2 lengths after being in contention on the bend. Strips fitter and can figure in the finish.
