Canberra Race 2 - Oskar Memorials Pace
IDEAL TAO (3) scored by 2 metres at Eugowra over 1700m last start, the second win from her past six outings. Will enjoy a nice run from this favourable starting position. Her last-start form is good enough to win a race of this calibre. UNCLE CRAIGO (4) put the writing on the wall when he finished runner-up over 2170m at this track six days ago. Big chance to go one better. YEDIDNTLOSEIT (5) has top-three claims after she finished third over 1770m at this track six days ago. Last-start winner NIFTY AMBITION (2) has been racing well and draws for another good showing.

Racing in great heart. Last start ran on from midfield and won by 2 m (Fr2) at Eugowra (2:05.10) beating Im Here To Party in on October 5 at $9.50 at the bell was 3rd-4.2. In form and may prove hard to beat.

Two back was beaten by 6 m finishing sixth after a quick start, behind See Me No More at Goulburn over 1710m on September 28 at $2.60. Then a handy effort when beaten by 1.2 m finishing second after a quick start, behind Major Issues at this track over 2170m on October 6 at $12. Looks close to a win.
