Hove Bags Race 8 - Coral Christmas 500 Maiden Trophy Final
POWERHOUSE DUKE (1) rocketed around 500m in 29.25 when winning a OR3 at this track last start. In winning form and can measure up again. CARRIGOON MILO (2) was in the placings last time but prior to that he ran a dominant 28.29 win over 480m at Curraheen Park. Top win two back and can measure up again.
