FRENCH EMPEROR (14) fronts up in winning form and he doesn't look done just yet. Had plenty in hand for both wins and he appeals as being well placed again. Interesting runner from Ireland is CHICAGO BEAR (10) who fronts up here looking ideally suited by this test. Strong mile winner back in Ireland and his recent jump outs suggest that he has settled right in down under. CASTLEREAGH KID (5) has had a lengthy break and may need this one before getting better over further but he is a good horse on his day and have to be wary. UNANIMOUS (6) is back in easier company with a winning hope and AIN'TNODEELDUN (8) is another that may need this one but has too much talent to ignore.
