Canberra Race 2 - Luke Pepper Racing Mdn Hcp
Tricky and the betting will be instructive. NOCTUA (7) sets the standard building on her 1L defeat here 17 days ago. She'd switched from the Waterhouse-Bott yard on a 47-day return. She will jump and run from the inside barrier and Prag's 2kg claim remains handy. SHE'SADARE (3) has switched from a Victorian barn on a 40-day turnaround. She was disappointing last time but was beaten a whisker at both Great Western and Terang prior. That form is good enough, and she will skip over and ride at the speed. WEIRD GOODBYES (1) debuts for the red-hot Like Pepper stable and was last seen in January trialling at Rosehill for Waterhouse-Bott. Loy rides from an inside barrier, and early betting suggests he will run well. WONDERFUL MISTAKE (12) is another local on debut She'll go better than the trial finish suggests.

Facing the starter for the first time. Two-year-old filly by Flying Artie out of Wonderful Thing purchased for AUD $ 12,000 (Inglis 2023 Australian Weanling Sale). At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 900m at Canberra February 7. Makes debut on home track and has to be kept safe.
