Two exciting crusaders will renew acquaintances at Sandown Park this afternoon in a battle that could go right down to the wire.
Gotham Duke got the better of Barooga Dodge in the recent Horsham Cup Consolation when the latter encountered significant interference.
While Gotham Duke (Mel Lithgow) boasts 16 wins from 37 starts and a cracking Sandown Park PB of 29.23sec, Barooga Dodge (Brett Nye) has won three of his past six starts and finished first or second in 10 straight runs prior to his last start defeat.
Barooga Dodge also has the advantage of box one this time around, which could prove the catalyst in him exacting revenge on his last-start nemesis.
WATCH: Gotham Duke (6) takes out the Horsham Cup Consolation, while Barooga Dodge (4) finished out of the placings after finding trouble in the run.
