Khadime and Growing Empire to take up the running at a strong tempo.
GROWING EMPIRE (1) finished runner-up on debut at Randwick-Kensington in February and then won a further 2 trials in Sydney before heading South and proving to be too slick for his rivals at Moonee Valley 5 weeks ago. Taking them all the way that day and holding on comfortably by 2 lengths. This is no harder and he can repeat the dose. KARAVAS (7) unfortunately had a Stakes win at Flemington taken off her last prep and resumed on the Parks course here 3 weeks ago with a bold effort for second. She will come on with the run and is poised to go one better in this. PURE AQUA (8) built strongly to a Stakes win on this track a fortnight ago and should have no issue with a further 150 metres on offer here. Jamie Kah picks up the ride and she is sure to be right there in the finish again. KHADIME (11) was an effortless winner on debut at Sandown-Lakeside just over 2 weeks ago. She made all the running that day and still had plenty left in the tank at the finish. Stick with her. SUGGESTED PLAY: Growing Empire to win.
