LADY EMPER (5) scored on dirt over 1100m at this track two starts ago then couldn't find the top-three on the same surface last time out over 1100m at this track. Terrific chance to find winning form this time. PRINCESA TROYANA (3) didn't make an impact at her last run before going for a spell on September 29, finishing 12th and beaten 19 lengths over 1100m at this track. Capable of playing a major role. ENCINITAS (7) is usually thereabouts but finds it hard to win, with just three wins from 50 starts. Again tasted defeat last start when seventh over 1100m at this track, beaten 9 lengths. Placed to advantage so expect a big run. IRISH BAND (1) was unplaced two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1100m at this track, beaten 5 lengths into fourth. Capable of featuring prominently.
