EMPOWER (5) is still a maiden after six runs. Was popular in betting last time out but didn't live up to market expectations, finishing fourth over 6f at Fort Erie after he was well back on straightening. Finds a suitable assignment this time and is a great chance to break through. ROYAL ENTRY (8) got well back over 1m1/2f at this track last time and never threatened, eventually finishing 9 lengths away in fifth. Finds a more suitable contest and can find winning form. KNOWING (2) was thereabouts last time out when second at this track over 6½f, beaten half a length. Yet to break through this time in but hasn't been far away, with five placings to his name. Expected to be competitive. Finds a nice race and can bounce back.
