Group 3 placegetter EMPEROR (1) continues to race well with a win in a at Eagle Farm before finishing 1.1 lengths away in second last time over 7f at Eagle Farm. Go on his win in a. Group 3 placegetter RAINBOW CONNECTION (4) is racing well, scoring in a at Ipswich before finishing 0.7 lengths from the winner in third last time over 7f at Eagle Farm. Goes well at this trip, recording three minor placings and is among the leading chances. FUKUBANA (6) finished third when resuming two runs back at Doomben then progressed nicely last time out to score by 1.3 lengths as public elect over 6f at Doomben. Going up a level this time but he deserves plenty of thought. TRIBECA STAR (5) has been kept fresh since filling a minor placing at Eagle Farm over 7f four weeks ago. Looks to be ticking over nicely judging by a recent trial win at Murwillumbah. Likely to feature in the finish.
