CANDY MAN MARTIN (6) returned to winning form as favourite last start, scoring by 5 lengths over today's journey at this track (Dirt). Has a good record at this course and distance, including a win and a placing. Can go on with it. GRANDPA JOE (3) turned in a fine effort to win by half a length at this course and distance when first-up from a break last time out. Likely to be there at the finish again. SAN SEBASTIAN (4) made progress last start to finish second over 1308m at this track. Taking on a better field but he is good enough to figure in the finish. GOING TO OMBRA (1) has not appeared since he finished seventh over 1308m at this track (Dirt) on May 22. Definite top-three chance.
