Verdict

I AM THE EMPIRE (1) had been plying his trade in harder Sydney contests before going down by a narrow margin at Eagle Farm last time out. Is a four-time winner over this staying test and should be able to sit up on speed from the favourable draw. Rates the testing material. The well-related SAN GABRIEL (5) (half to G2 winner Wymark) has been thereabouts in Saturday metro grade of late and gets in well at the weights with the claim. Sure to play a major role. DEMARCAY (6) has a handy record over this track and trip with two wins and two placings from seven attempts. Include in calculations. JEMOMA ALPILAGE (3) is one from one around this circuit and should get a cosy run in transit from the inside marble. Top-three aspirations. FARWEST (4) rounds out the selections.
