Canberra Race 1 - Tab.com.au Pace

IDEAL ANDY (1) resumes from a spell of eight months after closing off last campaign in good form, the last run being a solid second over 1710m at Goulburn. Sure to enjoy an economical run from this draw. Expecting a bright start to the campaign. ARMA THE GREAT (8) was in the money two runs ago then found the frame again last time over 1770m at this track, finishing 2.5 metres from the winner in third. Gets a soft run on the inside of the second line but may need luck at some point. Meets a comparable field and he is a strong winning hope. SMARTSUNSHINE (6) is on the radar after her last-start fourth over 1770m at this track six days ago. TAPANGA MISS (2) can make the most of the good dra and she is the best of the rest after finishing fifth over 1770m at this track last time out.

Two back was beaten by 8 m finishing third after being driven well back, behind Tristar For Chris at Goulburn over 1710m in a MAIDEN on December 2 at $8. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Lilys Reason at this track over 1770m in a MAIDEN on December 9 at $5. Sure to feature.
