Race Tip

Grade 3 placegetter OUR CANDIDATE (7) is making his debut over the jumps. Returned from a lay-off last start and was 5 lengths away in eighth in a flat race over 1m3 3/4f at Warrnambool. Ideally placed to quickly make his mark. JACK KNOWS BEST (5) is taking on the jumps for a second time after finishing sixth at his first attempt in a hurdle (2m) at Pakenham five weeks ago, beaten 22 lengths. Rates highly so expect him to be prominent. DUBAI MOON (3) was unplaced the start before last at Moe on the flat. Appreciated the transition to jumps racing last time when he wound up in second, beaten 4.5 lengths, in a hurdle (2m) at Warrnambool. The form should stack up. MAATSUYKER (6) is taking on the jumps for a second time after finding a couple better at his first attempt in a hurdle (2m) at Warrnambool nearly three weeks ago, beaten 7 lengths. Can make his presence felt.
