Race Preview

GROWING EMPIRE (1) was outstanding winning the G3 Mcneil Stakes fresh, putting the race away in a matter of strides and easing right down late, affirming his status as the best colt in Melbourne. Hard to see how they beat if unless he regresses. HIGH OCTANE (4) hit the line well first up in the Rosebud behind Gatsby's. He's won a trial easily since and should run a big race with McDonald up. FIRST SETTLER (7) has won both starts to date here over 1000m, showing good toughness late last time. Harder here but has done nothing wrong. STAY FOCUSED (6) was sound in the Mcneil fresh and will be fitter. PROST (3) can run well at each way odds.
