EMPIRE STATE (9) was always forward and boxed on to finish fourth over 6f at this track last time. Aldo Domeyer has won when aboard in the past and gets the ride again. Well placed and should be in the finish. COUNTER ATTACK (4) is back from a lay-off of nine weeks. Closed last prep with a 13th, beaten 9 lengths, over 6f at this track. Profiles nicely. NIGHT TIGER (5) finished out of the money two starts back then was beaten 4.5 lengths when eighth over 6f at this track five weeks ago. Well placed and there is no reason he cannot find winning ways. AFRICAN PRINCE (8) failed to threaten when fresh from a lay-off last time out, beaten 6 lengths into 13th over 6f at this track. Should be prominent from the outset. Should give backers a sight.
