Race Tip

I AM THE EMPIRE (1) turned in a better effort to finish second last start, beaten a head over 1m1f at Eagle Farm. Has good early toe so he should be handy in the run. Among the leading chances. SAN GABRIEL (5) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just two times from 22 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when fourth over 1m3f at Doomben, beaten 2 lengths. Ideally placed and is sure to play a major role. DEMARCAY (6) doesn't win out of turn, scoring just four times from 47 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when eighth over 1m4f at Eagle Farm, beaten 4 lengths. This is a nice drop in grade so he is a major player. JEMOMA ALPILAGE (3) was beaten 2 lengths into fourth in a 1m contest at Sunshine Coast last time out. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
