Empire Rose Stakes Betting Odds

Atishu ($4.40) put in a much improved effort in the Group 1 Might And Power Stakes, where she finished third behind Deny Knowledge and Mr Brightside.

The Chris Waller-trained mare has a good record at Flemington, with three wins and two placings from eights starts at HQ.

Although Orchestral ($4.40) was well held second-up via her Australian return in the Toorak Handicap,  she was somewhat unlucky behind a dominant Antino.

The New Zealand-based mare is a two-time Group 1 winner and the last of those was recorded on Australian debut last autumn when successful in the Vinery Stud Stakes.

A winning drought is starting to creep up on Amelia's Jewel ($5.50), who hasn't saluted since beating Pride Of Jenni back in September 2023 when taking out the Group 2 Stocks Stakes.

The ex-Western Australian galloper has been competitive in three starts since joining the Annabel Neasham & Rob Archibald stable and the five-year-old arrives here off a fifth-place finish in the King Charles III Stakes on October 19.
