Race 1

Prize Money: $753

HOPES CANDY (2) has been beaten for early speed lately, last time finishing fourth (43.19) in a OR at this track. Has a good record at this journey. Worth another chance. CARAMELS CREAM (5) was unfancied last time out but hit the ground running to lead all the way, scoring by one length (29.95) at this track in an A5 over 500m. Sure to be thereabouts. SKILFUL JACK (3) turned spotting a big start finishing fifth (30.46) last time in an A4 at this track. Worth another chance. DROOPYS ROSTER (6) is always a threat when he draws this box.
