Canterbury Race 3

Irresistible Pools And Spas Mdn Plate

Prize Money: $60,000

NORDIC VIKING (7) first-up from a five-month spell looks a nice bet at good each-way odds. Best effort last prep was a close fourth in the Black Opal. Trialling well and looks ready to hit the ground running. MARSEPT (12) returns for a second prep for Team Hawkes. Did a fine job to finish third on debut in a Listed race down the Flemington straight at her only appearance. Trialling in good fashion and with luck from a wide alley should play a big role. SANCTIFIED (10) stalked the pace and had his chance but was edged out as favourite over this trip at Wyong recently. Has had a few chances but looks sure to be competitive again. CONDONE (3) for Waterhouse/Bott looks a threat on debut on the back of two strong recent trials. Kris Lees' first starter NIGHT AGENT (6) has won his last three trials and is clearly a talent.

Resuming after a break; only one run when made ground from midfield; 3rd of 11 at Hawkesbury 2yo Mdn-Sw on May 15 over 1100m, slow going 4.5 len behind Hidden Motive carrying 57kg at $9. Looks set for a strong return to racing.

Third-up today and placed third-up in the past. First-up 2nd in a small field at Randwick Kensington Super 3yo C&G Mdn on August 13 over 1150m, on a wet track; 7 len behind Sixties with 59kg at $3.60. Last start sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 2nd of 7 at Wyong 3yo Mdn-Sw on August 31 over 1200m, nose behind Billund with 57kg at $2.60. Strong chance based on that form, particularly over his favoured journey.
