Formscan - EMPIRESTATEOFMIND has won two of his last three starts, finishing a neck second on the other occasion, and is hard to oppose without a penalty for his apprentice race success over 1m here last week. One Night Thunder scored over C&D on the same card and is an obvious threat to the selection, while Cisco Disco edges out Emery Down and Valentine Catcher to be best of the rest.
