Canberra Race 3 - Oskar Memorials & Wilson Racing Pace
MAJOR ISSUES (1) drew wide last start and was safely held, beaten 8 metres into seventh at Goulburn over 1710m. Has the benefit of a far better draw. Meets a similar line up and she can figure in the finish. APEX STRIDE (3) resumes after great success last prep, winning on two occasions and culminating in a eighth over 1609m at Newcastle on December 20. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. WARRAWEE CRUZIN (8) was responsible for a better effort last time out when runner-up over 1770m at this track. Should run a big race. SINISTER (6) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish third at Bathurst over 1730m. Each-way claims.

Two back was well beaten into ninth behind Furious Bart at Bathurst over 2260m in a NR up to 47 on April 15 at $13. Then a handy effort when beaten by 4 m finishing third behind Duffy Hollow at Bathurst over 1730m in a NR up to 45 on April 22 at $23. Can be thereabouts.
