Strong contest with plenty of chances. EMPEROR (1) tough gelding holding his form well. Big jump in class when back in trip for a battling eighth over 1000m at Eagle Farm. Should get the right tempo and no shock to see him finish over the top of these with leading apprentice aboard. LADY WARDELL (8) consistent mare due for a change of luck. Undefeated at this track and only has to hold her current form to have solid top-three prospects. SKYWOLF (2) huge drop in grade when leading throughout for a dominant victory over 1300m at Toowoomba. Will sit just off the good tempo and pounce late. LIGHT OF BOOM (3) fitter after two runs back in this weaker contest. Jumped in grade and trip and never looked a winning prospect back in the field when a poor eighth over 1200m at Doomben. Blinkers go on again and sure to be thereabouts.
