EMPIRE'S BEST (3) has Francisco Arrieta going aboard after he was well held last time out in seventh over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt). Should settle handy in the run. Sure to be in the finish. REBELIOUS (2) is a nicely bred three-year-old colt lining up for the first time. By The Factor from Pussyfoot who has produced some fine gallopers, including winners at black type level. Comes out of the the strong juvenile stable of B H Cox. Jumps from a favourable gate and any market lead would add to the confidence. TRABR'S CREED (6) was never in contention when 15 lengths from the winner in sixth over 6f at this track last start, a less impressive effort than his fourth at this track the run before. Nicely placed to take this out. FAMOUS FINAL SCENE (1) was in the firing line on the bend and finished third last start at the first run back from a lay-off over 1m1/2f at this track (Dirt), beaten 4 lengths. Fitter for that run. Nicely placed to fill a top-three spot again.
