GOING: N

Class 4 Handicap 1200m

Track: GOOD   Rain (Max: 16)   True  

Gray Candy has the pace to lead in what is likely to be a moderate tempo. ACE K (6) turned in a sound effort last time but found one better at this track over 1200m, beaten half a length. Cherry-ripe now. Hard to beat. GRAY CANDY (5) was well fancied last start over 1200m at this track when fourth, beaten 8 lengths. Well-placed to make amends. FLYING OAKS (1) has been in the money at both runs this prep, the latest when beaten 8 lengths into third over 1200m at this track. Fitter and a solid top-three hope again. BLUE NELLO (10) ran a fair race on debut last time out, beaten 8 lengths into sixth over 1200m at this track on March 22. Shapes as one to consider.
