Melton Race 8 - Nutrien Equine 3yo Mdn Pace

FANTASY FLIGHT (8) was in the money at Kilmore two runs ago before having his colours lowered at his latest appearance over 1690m at Kilmore, beaten 35 metres. No harm in drawing here with the sprint lane to rely upon. Meets a comparable field and he can make amends. SWEETSUGARCANDYMAN (1) is a three-year-old gelding from the Craig Demmler yard on debut. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Trial winner who looks above average. Has the right credentials to play a major role. SWEET FLORABEL (5) lines up for the first time. By Sweet Lou and hails from the Andy Gath stable. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. BETTER THEN DAICOS (3) probably isn't quite the star that he names suggests but he is in the mix here off a solid enough return.
