Canberra Race 5 - Alan Rummery Bookmaker - Shane Connolly Memorial (Bm65)
LORD FINLAND (6) runs along and went close here this grade/trip two weeks ago. Loy stays aboard and the gelding will arrive in peak fitness. Keeps improving and will take pegging back. DECIMUS (2) has been racing over this distance in stronger company and he gets his chance at this level. Maps well and McDougall is a key jockey booking. FLYING FLOSSY (8) won here first-up and has threatened both starts since. Comes back a level and the step-up to the mile will suit. Settles back so the inside barrier needs managing. ONYA LIONAL (10) was outgraded here last time but had been going well prior. He's placed twice over a mile and may be the best of the rest.

At the latest run sat on speed throughout when 3rd of 7 at Newcastle Bm64 on February 1 over 1600m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Hinchinjive carrying 57kg at $3.30. The start before that sat on the speed and boxed on steadily 5th of 7 at Newcastle Cond Bm68 on January 25 over 1600m, 1.4 len behind Mizella with 55kg at $6.50. Decent claims in this line-up.

Second-up. First-up after six months sat behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 7 at Newcastle Cond Bm68(65) on February 1 over 1400m, on a slow track; 9 len behind Lease with 57kg at $21. Previously second-up 4th of 11 at Muswellbrook Bm66 on July 29 over 1500m, on rain affected going; 1.5 len behind Tough Case with 59.5kg at $8. Looks a fair way off peak form so others are preferred.
