TAB EMPIRE ROSE STAKES
Results
The G1 Empire Rose Stakes. ATISHU (1) goes on top. She looked a bit out of form to start the campaign but the signs were there in the G1 Turnbull Stakes two back when showing something late, 3.5 lengths off Via Sistina. That form looks world-class now! She ran on well last time at G1 level and getting back to Flemington suits. If she runs to her best, she likely wins. AMELIA'S JEWEL (2) hasn't really lived up to the early hype but she's racing well in Sydney. Her run in the G1 King Charles III last time behind Ceolwulf & Pride Of Jenni is very good form and she's suited at the set weights. PLENTY OF AMMO (13) is a very progressive mare who won well last week against the boys. Gives a sight. ALSEPHINA (7) beat a few key rivals two back before a tough third to Antino at G1 level last start. Can figure. KIMOCHI (6) is going okay and could get a nice run from the inside gate with Bowman down to ride.

The run before that 6th of 16 at this track in the G1 Turnbull on October 5 over 2000m, slow going 3.5 len behind Via Sistina with 56kg at $14. Multiple Group 1 winning mare who rates very highly.

The run before that made some head-way from midfield; 2nd of 7 at Rosehill in the G2 Gold Pend on September 28 over 1400m, slow going 1.2 len behind Makarena with 58kg at $2.80. Hasn't been far off her best and the Ceolwulf form looks outstanding.
Third-up today and won third-up in the past. First-up got back early 8th of 13 at Ellerslie Hcp on September 21 over 1400m, on a slow track; 2 len behind Shamus with 60.5kg at $2.

The run before that made ground from midfield; 2nd of 17 at Randwick in the G1 The Metrop on October 5 over 2400m, nose behind Land Legend with 52kg at $7.
