LADY EMPER (3) finds it hard to win but ran a strong race last time when beaten 0.1 lengths into second over 1000m at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Will play a major role. CHAMPELICE (6) has been in the market at her last couple of runs but failed to threaten, the latest effort a modest eighth at this track over 1300m. Open to improvement and is among the chances. CREED (2) drew wide and ran poorly last start when beaten 6 lengths into fifth at this course and distance. Fared better at the barrier draw this time. Drawn to enjoy a good run on the speed. Sure to be competitive. DI LUNA (7) finished third at this track two runs back but didn't measure up last time over 1000m at this track, finishing 5 lengths back in sixth. Well placed and should be thereabouts.
