Canberra Race 2

Wish You Were Here Mdn Hcp

Stake: $23,760

Tricky. UNREAL EXPECTATION (2) debuts and has trialled well at Hawkesbury. Lever sticks, and he draws inside. Looks to have plenty of ability, and this is a winnable assignment. LIGHTLY SPARKLED (5) brought strong form to Goulburn first-up but didn't finish it off (vet cleared). She will be sharper today and keeps the 1.5kg claim. Should go close. AZZUCCA (4) resumes and draws inside. She's good enough, and a bold run is likely. MCTOMINAY (1) won a trial and looked a run short at the Sapphire Coast on debut. He will likely push forward, and strips fitter. It's hard to risk the Loy-Pepper linkage.

Resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation seventh of 11 at Moruya Super Mdn January 6 over 1010m, soft track; 5.5 len behind Bengal carrying 57.5kg at $26. On debut second of 12 at Canberra Mdn December 6 over 1000m, soft track; a head behind Miss Backchat carrying 56.5kg at $16. Deserves thought.

Third race start today. At big odds at debut, ran last of 8 at Gosford Super Mdn-Sw on April 25 over 1000m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Inoue carrying 58.5kg at $41. Last start ran last of 7 at Wyong Super Mdn-Sw on May 8 over 1100m, on rain affected going; 18 len behind Ninette carrying 59kg at $101. Will need to improve sharply.
