POWERHOUSE DUKE (3) shapes well after a quick run last time, finishing second in a OR3 at Hove in 29.96. In the money latest and can measure up here. ROMEO EMPIRE (2) is progressing well with another good run last time, placing (44.19) from Box 2 at Central Park. Has a strong record from this draw, notching five wins and seven minor placings from 12 starts. Will give a great sight again. MALCOLM BOSH (5) spotted a start but wound up strongly to place when 2.75 lengths third (39.31) at Oxford in OR. Consistent performer from this draw with a win and 11 minor placings to his credit. Well placed and gets his chance. SUGAR CANDICE (4) must be respected at her pet distance.
