Canberra Race 2 - Nvs Paving & Landscaping Mdn Hcp
Sydney stables hold the aces. BLAZING SWORD (1) resumes for a top stable. He will race over further but has trialled well and Collett is a positive jockey booking. Has the figures to test these. AWEIGH (9) will enjoy a soft run and went close at Goulburn second-up. She's sure to build on that. MATERA (5) had a string of trials before disappointing at Hawkesbury on debut. Maps well and is sure to have taken fitness and learning. Keep safe. CEANNASAI (7) showed enough first-up to consider.

Resuming after a five months break. Finished off last preparation eighth of 10 at Newcastle Cl1-Sw September 20 over 1850m, 6 len behind Kosuke carrying 55kg at $3.50. On debut ninth of 13 at Newcastle 2yo Mdn July 13 over 1200m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Lutetia carrying 58kg at $26. A bold effort is likely.

Had two starts to date. When well in the market at debut, raced behind the speed prior to fading second last of 10 at Beaumont (Newcastle) F&M Mdn on December 19 over 1200m, 7 len behind Moonlight Dream with 57.5kg at $5. Second-up sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 7 at Goulburn Mdn-Sw on January 28 over 1200m, 0.8 len behind Friskee Frog with 55.5kg at $3.40. Progressing well and deserves plenty of consideration.
