GOING: N

WD NEWS PUBLICATIONS PACE 2180m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 14)    

KRAFTY CANDY (6) resumes from a spell of four-and-a-half months after closing off last campaign in good form, scoring at her last appearance over 1720m at Melton. Sure to be right there at the finish. JUMPINGJOY (3) has not raced since she finished 1.3 metres away in third at Melton over 1720m five months ago. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Likely to run a big race to kick off this campaign. FANCY FREE (4) is worth plenty of thought off a last-start win by a head when resuming at Menangle over 1609m. KEAYANG TOKYO (11) won fresh up and is good enough to overcome a tough draw and win again.

Previous preparation posted a big 3.5 m win (Fr1) at Bendigo (2:38.00) beating Freeasabyrd in 2yo on September 15 at $16. Can improve again. Very hard to beat.
