Canberra Race 2

Lerida Estate Winery Pace

Prize Money: $6,936

BONJORGE (2) has been racing well of late. Finished fourth at her latest appearance over 1720m at Young, beaten 7 metres. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. OAK RIDGE (6) produced a strong performance last start when he battled on bravely to just miss out over 1720m at Young. Meets a comparable field and he can figure in the finish. SPORTS LINER (1) is well served by the ace draw so can do better while this looks a better race for ITZ BAD (4) so expecting him to play a role.

Two back was well beaten into tenth after a quick start, behind Return Serve at Junee over 1760m in a NR 42 to 45 on January 19 at $2.80. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.4 m finishing third behind Rip Jackson at Young over 1720m in a NR 40 to 44 on February 3 at $12. Strong claims.

Resuming after a spell of three months. Finished off last preparation when well beaten into sixth after a quick start, behind Oak Ridge at this track over 1770m in a 2 WINs on November 9 at $9. Best performances should see him go well.
