GOING:

Race 2 1200m

Track: AW      

Moderate tempo with Last Canon leading the way and a few others keeping in touch. CRAFT KING (3) turned things around last start and got the job done by a nose over 1200m at this track. No reason he cannot salute again. LAST CANON (6) just missed last time when a neck away in second at this track over 1200m. Genuine contender. SWEET CANDY (9) came from well back on cornering and hit the line strongly to score over 1200m at this track last time out. Has a win and one placing at this journey from four starts. Expected to be there at the business end. TSUKIYOZAKURA (7) recorded a strong on-pace win here last time by a neck over 1000m. In-form and another bold showing is on the cards.
