Looks to be plenty of pace with Bonus Season and Ninjask battling for the lead. EMPRESS OF JAPAN (9) has gotten better with each NSW outing this time in work and looks to be building up to another victory. Gets Melbourne Cup winning hoop Dolan in the stirrups and should be right there when the judge calls a halt. JAM PACKED (10) has won two of three this campaign and may have turned the corner now. Strong top-three prospects. BONUS SEASON (11) didn't measure up in Listed company last time out but this is a much easier contest. Watch for a spike in form. GO MARO (8) ran well last start when third at Toowoomba over 1625m. Capable of going close with the claim. Include in exotics. SUGGESTED PLAY: Boxed Trifecta 9,10,11,8.
