Canberra Race 4 - Oskar Memorials Pace
THE TALK (4) has been racing very well of late and went close again last time over 2270m at Riverina Paceway, finishing third and 3 metres from the winner. Primary contender based on those recent efforts. OAK RIDGE (2) scored at Young three runs ago then missed the placings before bouncing back last time, making up plenty of ground but finding one better over 1740m at Riverina Paceway. Likely to get all the favours from this nice draw. Meets a similar line up and he is capable of another bold performance. EYEDIDNTLOSEIT (3) is the next best after finishing third over 1770m at this track last time out. ROCKET BOY (5) is in the mix following a fourth at his most recent appearance over 1740m at Riverina Paceway.

Finished up last campaign with a win at Redcliffe, but hasn't been as effective this campaign with a first-up effort 6th (Fr2) over 1609m at Menangle, beaten 30 m by Zeus Lightning (1:51.40) in 3yo on May 26 at $51. Then last start was well beaten after breaking at this track on June 1. Expecting a return to form.

Improved last start with a good run despite getting well back, when 2nd (Fr6) over 1740m at Riverina Paceway, at the bell was 8th-15.5 beaten 2.5 m by Geoffrey Bee (2:08.20) on June 2 at $8.50. Heading the right way and is a leading player.

Not far away at the last couple starts; Finished 3 m third behind Janie Blu at Riverina Paceway over 2270m last start. Before that was beaten 3.5 metres third again at Riverina Paceway over 1740m in M on June 2. Sure to play a major role.

Failed to impress last start; 7th (Sr2) over 1770m at this track, beaten 25 m by Rudimentary (2:07.70) on June 1 at $8.50. Showed ability the outing before when he won by 1.1 m (Sr3) at Young (2:04.40) beating Fluttering Angel in on May 12 at $12. Rates highly and looks hard to beat on best form.
