Kempsey Race 3 - Dave Sands Memorial Plate (C1)
CASSIE'S LAD (1) was narrowly beaten at Muswellbrook getting back to his best and was outgraded at Newcastle following, at monster odds. Held his number there, and this is a much easier The extra meters shouldn't bother and he gets his chance. STRAIGHT THROUGH (6) resumed at Armidale and looked a run short. He is proven second up and is still well shy of his best. Suited stepping up in trip and should go close. KHANT FAIL (8) didn't have much luck at Taree but led and just missed over 2000m at Port Macquarie prior. That effort would have her in the finish, and she's on a quick backup with a handy 3kg claim. EPIC STATEMENT (9) mixes the form but will find this easier than Gosford and coming back 200m should advantage. Can't be ruled out. PRINCE IS GAME (5) also peaks and should be around the mark.

Most recently second last of 11 at Newcastle Midway Bm72 on November 15 over 1600m, 6 len behind Djapana carrying 54kg at $101. The start before that 3rd in a small field at Muswellbrook Bm58 on November 4 over 1750m, 1.2 len behind Deel Me A Queen with 58kg at $6.50. Capable of sharp improvement.

Second run back. First-up after three months 4th of 10 at Armidale Ctry Cl1 on November 9 over 1300m, on a slow track; 4 len behind Chica Del Mar carrying 55.5kg at $41. Previously second-up won by a long-neck at Grafton Ctry Mdn-Sw July 6 over 1720m defeating Star Of Kongo with 57kg at $13. Fitter and expected to be in the finish this time.
