Verdict

KING EMPEROR (6) debuted with a most impressive effort last start over 6f here, coming from the second half of the field on the bend to go under in a photo. Perfectly placed over an extra 1f. Has more upside than his rivals and looks a great chance to open his account. TOOBLOOS (13) is the obvious danger after some good results in town. Started favourite and worked home strongly to get up for second last time out over this distance at Eagle Farm. Won't spend a penny from the inside draw and will be hard to hold out. I SAY I SAY (5) led for home but was overwhelmed late in the piece over this course and distance a fortnight ago. Has been up for a long while but continues to race well. Good each-way hope. WILD BEAN (9) missed the kick and came from last to get up for third last start over this trip at Eagle Farm. Will get back again from a wide gate but watch for him late. Big gap then to GRANDSTANDER (4) who can improve at the third run back from a spell.
