EMPIRE CITY - over-raced passing the 2200m when being restrained to obtain cover. Held up early final turn. When questioned regarding the performance Driver R May stated that after having worked hard early he felt it was his best option to hand up when challenged by THE MOONSTONE given the 2700m distance of tonight's event. Mr May further advised that he felt the filly had gone to ease up for several strides when improving to the inside of the breaking FATHER BARRY passing the 150m before finishing on strongly over the final stages.
