Having his second trial the Bjorn Baker trained Holy Roman Emperor (IRE) colt Grand Emperor showed good natural pace to lead and held off all challengers to score a comfortable three-quarter length win in his 900 metre trial clocking 54.23 seconds, which was the quickest of the four two year-old heats.
