RACE COMMENT
OVERVIEW: SIR CANDY CLOUD (1) has the advantage of the concession to use a coveted pole draw and his good gate speed to get a comfortable lead over the short trip. He’s run well in his two runs with recent G1-winning driver Blake Pace aboard, and if he can tap the brakes in the middle section and get a lungful of air for the finish, he will be hard to run down. REASON TO LOVE (8) can catch his cover on the peg line and didn’t have much luck last time from a similar position. He can be an improver from the map and should be included in all multiples. CHASING THE WIND (9) has been popular with punters the past couple with Alford aboard, and having to do no work and come with one run here may suit depending on the tempo. ROCKNROLL RAMBO (10) is threatening to win, placing at his last four starts, but he goes to the back-row draw over the short trip, which hurts his chances. However, the closing sectionals shouldn’t be overly quick for him to make up ground late. DELTA STARZ (5) had a flat tyre last time and can improve based on his win four back, while it’s hard to know what to make of POWERLINC (6), but he is worth throwing in the wider Quaddie should you want to be safe. BACK: SIR CANDY CLOUD (1) – 1.5 units (win)
