Canberra Race 5

Wilson Racing & Lonsdale Auto Electrics Pace

Prize Money: $6,936

LESSISMORE (2) was responsible for a very good effort last time over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, finishing second and just a neck from the winner. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Big chance in a similar line-up. RUDIMENTARY (6) produced a better effort at his latest appearance, finishing second over 1730m at Bathurst. Leading hope in this comparable race. MAJOR ISSUES (7) is the next elect off a last-start win by one metre at Young over 2100m. KALYPSO RAINBOW (5) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth over 1720m at Young on May 12.

Last start 5th (Sr3) over 1720m at Young beaten 6 m by Stinson (2:05.90) in 3yo 1-2LTWs on May 12 at $31. Before that, 4th (Fr2) over 2170m after showing early pace at this track, beaten 8 m by Ark Alert (2:41.80) in NR up to 53 on May 4. Better than last start and deserves another chance.
