Canterbury Race 2 - Schweppes Mdn Hcp
Tricky race to assess with a few of these facing the starter for the first time. Of the raced brigade DR KNOW (4) was well in the market at Kembla on debut and hit the frame after sitting up on the speed. Gets Lloyd on top from the inside marble and should play a role in the outcome. The well-related SAFFRON VEIL (6) (half to G1 winner Communist) has finished runner-up in both outings to date and looks to be on the doorstep of a maiden victory. Top-three candidate. AFFARI (9) has placed three from three around this circuit and will be ready to peak now third run back from a spell. In the mix. CALOOCAN BEAUTY (12) returns from a spell after racing just once to date when fourth at Randwick over 1000m. Recent trial form is very strong including a win at the latest appearance at Warwick Farm. Watch for any market confidence.

Half-brother to Group 1 winner Lindermann. Resumes from a spell. Finished off last campaign seventh of 9 at Rosehill 2yo Hcp May 30 over 1300m, in the wet; 7 len behind Tron Bolt with 56kg at $9.50. On debut second of 14 at Warwick Farm Super 2yo Mdn May 20 over 1100m, in the wet; 3.5 len behind Our Emperor with 57kg at $8.50. Prefer to see how he returns.

Colt by Castelvecchio on debut. Full-brother to two-start maiden Romancastle. Dam was a winner of two races. Ran 3rd in a trial at Rosehill over 1030m on September 8. Prefer to see.

Colt by Farnan making his first appearance. Half-brother to three-time winner Scoundrel. Finished fourth in a Gosford trial over 1000m on August 31. Hard to enthuse on what he has shown.

Half-sister to Group 1 winner Communist. Had two starts to date. At debut, 2nd of 9 in a 3yo Mdn at Warwick Farm on August 19 over 1100m, slow going nose behind Blessed Eagle carrying 56kg at $8.50. Last start 2nd in a small field in a 3yo Bm64 at Warwick Farm on September 2 over 1200m, long-neck behind Sequinned carrying 55.5kg at $5.50. Capable of a better showing. Will be hard to beat.
