Canberra Race 7

Lonsdale Auto Electrics Pace

Prize Money: $6,936

FEARFUL (7) settled near the pace and finished well to finish a very close third last start over 1609m at Menangle. Drawn to enjoy a nice run, with luck possibly playing a role at some point. Leading hope based on that recent effort. ARMA THE GREAT (5) was out of the money two runs back at Riverina Paceway then improved sharply last start to score by a head over 1740m at the same circuit. Meets a similar line up so he can certainly make it two on the bounce. FREASON (1) disappointed last time when seventh over 1770m at this track. Can bounce back. OAK RIDGE (2) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1770m at this track. Include in combinations.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr3) over 1770m at this track, at the bell was 8th-18.4 beaten 18 m by Jekamias (2:09.10) on September 13 at $13. Showed ability the run before when he came from midfield and won by a nose after showing early speed, (Fr7) at Goulburn (2:07.40) beating Mickey Be Nimble in on September 7 at $4.80 at the bell was 4th-5.5. Can improve sharply without surprising.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr5) over 1770m at this track, at the bell was 5th-11.2 beaten 12 m by Jekamias (2:09.10) on September 13 at $19. At the start before good run despite getting well back, when 3rd (Fr6) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, at the bell was 7th-15.2 beaten 12 m by Nasana (2:02.70) on July 28 at $51. Solid top-three prospects.

Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr8) over 1710m after being wide early at Goulburn, beaten 30 m by Always Be Brendan (2:05.60) on September 7 at $13. Two runs back 7th (Fr8) over 1740m after racing wide at Riverina Paceway, beaten 7 m by Bidgee Babe (2:06.50) on August 28 at $2.50. This looks too tough.

Didn't do much at the last run, 6th (Fr3) over 1770m after showing early pace at this track was 7th-12.6 at the bell, beaten 17 m by Jekamias (2:09.10) on September 13 at $14. Before that was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr8) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, beaten 10 m by Warieda Boy (2:04.80) on September 4 at $23. Not keen on her chances in this field.

Comes here in the right form. Came from midfield and won by 1.2 m (Fr1) at this track (2:08.60) beating Achy Breaky Ark in on September 13 at $81 at the bell was 5th-9.8. Two runs back was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr8) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway was 8th-13.2 at the bell, beaten 19 m by Warieda Boy (2:05.20) on July 3 at $81. One to consider.

Two back was well beaten into sixth after being driven well back, behind La Familia at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo+ on September 8 at $21. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.5 m finishing third behind Racing Writer at Menangle over 1609m in a 3yo+ on September 15 at $2.10. Expected to go well again.
