The 2022 Empire Rose Stakes is a Group One mile for the fillies and mares run at Flemington.
La Crique (barrier 10) looks the clear horse to beat, bolting in at Group One level over the mile last start, and has been tested against some of New Zealand's best horses and now gets James McDonald in the saddle.
Three-year-old filly She's Licketysplit (barrier eight) gets the weight allowance in her favour, last seen running third in the Thousand Guineas while honest mare Icebath (barrier five) continues to run well against some of Australia's best.
Kissonallforcheeks (barrier 12) is unbeaten at Flemington while Nimalee (barrier two) and Palaisipan (barrier 20) also look chances with similar form lines.
Chris Waller's Kiku (barrier seven) is next best according to the bookmakers.
