Hughie Morrison runs two with SUGAR CANDIE (NAP) preferred. She's been lightly-raced and was backed into favouritism last time when finishing well without threatening the principals. She's down a further 2lb and cheekpieces are now applied. All bar one of Sicario's 15 starts for Mick Appleby team have come on the all-weather and Lechro and Manyana have disappointed on recent runs while Pound Off You has not been seen since October 2021.
