RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: FANTASY FLIGHT (8) was $1.10 favourite last time at Kilmore when he galloped early and ruined his chances at the start. Nothing went right there and we should go off his prior first-up run when he found the front, gave a great kick and was only nailed late by Bay Of Fires in good time. There was a huge margin back to third and he looks ready to break his maiden at the eighth time of asking. SWEETSUGARCANDYMAN (1) was super at the trials last time out when coming from a mile back to win at Melton and looks a good chance on debut, SWEET FLORABEL (5) beat the aforementioned rival home when second at her only trial appearance on August 4 and is another that steps out on debut, while BETTER THEN DAICOS (3) showed gate speed to lead last time at Shepparton, and despite dropping out there was well fancied in the market and is best of the rest alongside ARRIVAL TIME (6). BACK: FANTASY FLIGHT (8) – 3 units (win)
