Genuine pace with Empress Of The Sun taking up the running ahead of Karburan and I Am The Empire. Tough staying race. TRAPALANDA (8) is racing consistently since coming down to Melbourne and is likely open to further improvement than some more exposed rivals. He was only narrowly beaten at Sandown Lakeside last time out and should get into a decent spot with Williams booked. Should be right there. EMPRESS OF THE SUN (13) is the interesting one with just four starts to her name. She won two in a row, measuring up well last time out against her own sex in BM74 company. There's more depth here but she has to be respected. I AM THE EMPIRE (4) looks a big price in early betting. He was awful last start at Caulfield but that was much tougher. Some query at 2400m but he maps very well and the run two back goes close. FISHERMAN'S BEACH (14) is lightly raced, in the minor money here last time out. Tough draw but has claims again. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Trapalanda & I Am The Empire.
