Canberra Race 4

Tab App Pace

Stake: $7,630

THE TALK (1) registered another strong performance last time when she battled on bravely to finish second over 2240m at Goulburn. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Has the ability to take this out. SIX AGAIN (8) was responsible for a far better performance at his latest appearance when runner-up over 1710m at Goulburn, beaten 1.2 metres. Drawn to enjoy a cosy run but might need things to go his way at some stage. Perfectly placed and is sure to be there at the finish again. MIRADOR LASS (2) can make the most of this draw and didn't do a bad job when fourth over 2240m at Goulburn last time out. UNCLE JAY (3) is in the mix after turning in a better effort last start to finish second at Riverina Paceway over 2270m.

Fair performance when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Brooklyns Best at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a NR up to 55 on March 21 at $18. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing second behind Carbineer at Goulburn over 2240m in a NR up to 55 on March 31 at $14. Draws the inside and is expected to be in the finish again.

Last start was well back in the run when 4th (Fr4) over 2240m after racing wide at Goulburn was 6th-11.5m on the pegs at the bell, beaten 12 m by Carbineer (2:48.20) in NR up to 55 on March 31 at $7.50. Before that, surrendered the lead and finished 7th (Fr2) over 1740m after showing early speed at Riverina Paceway, beaten 21 m by Catchafire (2:04.40) in NR up to 55 on March 21 at $31. Rates highly on best form and can bounce back.

Two back was well beaten into fourth after showing early speed, behind The Ex Horseist at Goulburn over 2240m in a NR up to 60 on March 10 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Tizzy Lizzie at Riverina Paceway over 2270m in a NR up to 67 on March 28 at $34. Expected to feature.
