RACE 3
CANDYKANE (2) has good early speed and should be able to work to the lead past a horse which generally likes to take a trail in her races. She was able to lead three starts ago at Albion Park and although she was unplaced she ran a quick enough personal mile rate to suggest she’d be hard to beat in a race of this nature.
TAKE COURAGE (1) should settle close in the run from an ideal draw. She showed gate speed to lead before landing the leaders back trail three starts ago and was able to score a nice win. She should get every chance to run another good race with a similar trip.
ROLLYARRRZ (4) got back two runs ago from a wide draw and was running on strongly late into third behind Erasmus and Its Back Page News. He finds a much easier race and should settle close enough in the run to be right in the finish.
THREENTWO (5) comes into this race third up from a spell and should be nearing peak fitness in this race. She has been able to lead in her two first and second up outings when running good second placings to Major Orion and Champagne Walsh. She may not be able to lead this time which could make things tougher.
SELECTIONS: CANDYKANE (2), TAKE COURAGE (1), ROLLYARRRZ (4), THREENTWO (5)
SUGGESTED BET: CANDYKANE (2) to win.
