HECTOR DE MARIS (1) Group 3 placegetter. Finished fourth two runs back at Sunshine Coast then improved last time out to score by a nose after being prominent at the bend over 1m3f at Doomben. Finds a suitable race and can play a major role again. THESECONDATPORTSEA (9) improved last start to finish third over 1m2f at Doomben. Finds a suitable race and can build on that solid recent effort. I AM THE EMPIRE (7) has been in the placings at his last two starts, finishing third last time over 1m2f at Rosehill. Has the ability to produce another positive result. COUP DE TONNERRE (4) was out of the money two runs back then again missed the frame last start over 1m3f at Doomben, beaten 2.5 lengths into fifth. Best efforts measure up so worth another chance.
