WILLPOWERED (7) returns from the paddock after failing to impress on debut running 10 lengths behind Spirit Of The Law at Saratoga (Dirt) over 1m. Rates a strong winning chance. DUTY (1) showed good early dash at the first run after a lay-off last time out and led for most of the way before being claimed and finishing 1. 5 lengths away in third over 1m1/2f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic). Well-placed and will take running down. AMERICAN DIRECTION (3) is back from a break of four-and-a-half months. Raced below par at his only appearance last prep when seventh over 1m1/4f at Gulfstream Park (Synthetic). Looks a strong top-three prospect. LOVE'M OR LIAM (6) uS: T first time: 3U unplaced both runs - 12345 has missed the frame at both runs this time in, the latest when beaten 13 lengths into fifth over 1m at Aqueduct. Tackling a turf track for the first time. In peak fitness now and is a definite top-three contender.
