Candyboy likely at Oamaru today

Special correspondent Dunedin Candyboy should be hard to beat in the De Geest Handicap at Oamaru if he can reproduce the dash he showed to win at Cromwell three weeks ago. Candyboy won the corresponding race by seven lengths under the same weight, 57kg, two years ago. He carried 55.5 kg at Cromwell under a half a kilogram higher weight scale. That win, his 16th, came after some poor efforts but he has usually held good form.' He won the James Hazlett Stakes at Wingatui in December, then finished second in the Dunedin Cup. Blue Sage, a last-start winner at Ashburton, would be a fitting winner as she is owned in Oamaru by Scott and Doug Grey. A sprint winner at Oamaru last season she has had middle-distance wins at Motukarara, Riccarton, Waikouaiti and Ashburton this term. A sprint at Ashburton 10 days ago should have improved Lord Hymac, which won this race last year. He won four middle-distance handicaps last season, including the Palmerston North Handicap. Nyah, the runner-up to Spy Force at Riccarton last time out, is fancied for the Glenmorven Handicap, second leg of the T.A.B. double.
