Canberra Race 8

Wattys Rural Fencing Trotters Mobile

Prize Money: $6,936

TARENTAISE (4) scored three runs back but has been less effective since then with his latest appearance coming over 1710m at Goulburn when finishing fifth after leading into the straight. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position and he is good enough to take out a race like this. KEEPER OFTHEPLAINS (3) was out of the money two starts ago then things went wrong last start when he broke and finished a distant eighth over 1710m at Goulburn. Has the benefit of a good draw and can make amends. THE NIGHT KING (5) is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1609m at Menangle last time out. Watch closely. Each way value.

Capable of better than we have seen lately. Last start 5th (Fr8) over 1710m after showing early speed at Goulburn was leading by 5.6 at the bell, beaten 45 m by Lair Of The Eagle (2:06.30) in NR up to 50 on December 2 at $14. At the previous start 8th (Sr2) over 1710m at Goulburn beaten 24 m by Lair Of The Eagle (2:07.50) in NR up to 50 on November 25 at $81. Sure to be hard to beat.
