EMPIRE RULER (4) debuted three-and-a-half weeks ago when he finished sixth over 1100m at Murray Bridge, beaten 3 lengths. Should progress this time and is expected to feature. DOLCE D'AMOUR (11) missed the placings two starts back when resuming then ran a better race and finished 4.5 lengths away in fifth last time out over 1200m at Warracknabeal. Has the talent to figure prominently. MISS PANTHERLOT (7) is a eight-start maiden who finished second over 1100m at Clare last time out after being in contention on the bend. Nicely placed to take this out. FOXY MONSTER (12) could only manage to finish fifth, beaten 3.5 lengths, at her latest appearance over 1100m at Naracoorte. Expected to feature in the finish this time.
