Canberra Race 1 - Av Stone Marble & Granite 2yo Pace
LETSBEALILCREATIVE (1) lines up for the first time. By Be Happy Mach and hails from the Jake Stockton stable. Has the benefit of a good draw. Showed some ability when a minor placegetter in a recent trial. Makes plenty of appeal. MY SHIRAZ (5) ran fifth last start at Riverina Paceway over 1740m, beaten 8 metres. Expect her to pose a serious challenge. BE BETTER (7) will find this easier than recent attempts. Draws for a trail and is dangerous if he get the gaps. SHELBY ART (4) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1710m at Goulburn two weeks ago.

Two-year-old colt by Be Happy Mach out of Creative on debut. Finished third at Riverina Paceway in a trial on October 9 over 1740m. Profiles nicely and is expected to measure up.
