Canberra Race 3 - Henry Rixon Memorial Heat One
LOVE A BELLE (8) finished eighth last start over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 13 metres, after scoring at the previous appearance over 1609m at Newcastle. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Meets a comparable field and she can play a big role. ED MENDES (1) finished third last start, beaten 4.5 metres, in a nice return to form at Penrith over 1720m. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Facing a tougher assignment but he is capable of running another big race. KEAYANG JIGSAW (9) disappointed last time when eighth over 1740m at Riverina Paceway. Can turn things around. DONNIE MAC (3) is the best of the rest after finishing third over 2270m at Riverina Paceway last time out.

Fair run when beaten by 3 m finishing fourth after a quick start, behind Spirit Of Sahara at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a NR up to 53 on February 27 at $4. Then a handy effort when beaten by 7 m finishing third after showing early speed, behind Le Betty at Riverina Paceway over 2270m in a NR up to 58 on March 20 at $34. One of the better chances.

Gave plenty of ground last start when well beaten into eighth after a quick start, behind Helluva at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in a No NR on March 27 at $19. Performed better the start before with a solid effort when 2nd (Sr1) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway was 2nd-0.6 at the bell, beaten 3 m by Ozzie Corka (2:03.90) in NR up to 65 on March 20 at $5.50. Should be in the finish.
