Canberra Race 3 - Canberra Differential & Mechanical Services Pace
ROCKET BOY (8) turned in a much better run last time out when runner-up over 1710m at Goulburn, beaten 1.75 metres. Won't spend a penny from this draw but luck may play a role on the bell lap. Meets a comparable field so he is capable of taking this out. PETES BIG JIM (9) ran fourth last start at Goulburn over 1710m, beaten 4 metres after getting caught wide over the early running. Expect him to be prominent. LOCHINVAR TIGER (2) is the next best after finishing third over 1710m at Goulburn last time out. Having his first run at this track and is well worth considering. EYEDIDNTLOSEIT (7) is worth another chance after a last-start seventh over 1720m at Young a week ago after she raced four-back on the fence for most of the trip.

Failed to impress last start; was driven from back in the field when 5th (Fr6) over 2170m at this track was 6th-8 at the bell, beaten 14 m by Freason (2:43.30) on September 21 at $14. Showed ability the race before when he ran on from midfield and won by 1.2 m (Fr1) at this track (2:08.60) beating Achy Breaky Ark in on September 13 at $81 at the bell was 5th-9.8. Anticipate a far better run this time.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after a quick start, behind Seaside Drive at Goulburn over 1710m on September 7 at $5.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing third behind Goodtime Miki at Goulburn over 1710m on September 28 at $26. One of the primary contenders.

Last start 5th (Sr1) over 1710m at Goulburn was 3rd-4.4 at the bell, beaten 5.5 m by Goodtime Miki (2:04.90) on September 28 at $13. At the start before 4th (Fr2) over 2170m after showing early pace at this track was leading by 2.6 at the bell, beaten 10 m by Freason (2:43.30) on September 21 at $5. Is a genuine threat.

Last start 7th (Sr4) over 1720m at Young, beaten 22 m by Tulhurst Pebbles (2:05.70) in M on September 29 at $6.50.
