Canberra Race 3 - Stefano Cherchi Memorial Mdn Plate
LEOVANNI (12) was beaten a lip over this distance at Bathurst, backed off the map and then raced a $2.8 favourite at Scone and may not have appreciated the deep surface. She's in a top Sydney yard and maps for a soft run. Shapes as the one to beat. Stablemate NOVEMBER AIR (13) resumed well-supported at Muswellbrook and didn't have the best of luck. Last preparation, she went close x3 at provincial level, and that form is good enough for this. BLACK BUGATTI (4) resumed over this distance at Goulburn and hit the line well beaten 2L. He can sit closer today and is still well shy of his best. Quick improvement is likely. Ditto with RUBILACE (10), who presents third-up and was only caught late at Kembla Grange last time (treated post-race for heat stress). She is back after 19 days and also has plenty up her sleeve.

Jumped at long odds at debut, 3rd of 8 at Kembla Grange Mdn-Sw on March 14 over 1200m, slow going 4.5 len behind Lyles with 57kg at $26. Fitter and can't be ruled out.

He is resuming after a four-and-a-half months break. Finished off last campaign second last of 8 at Canterbury 3&4yo Mdn-Sw November 15 over 1550m, 8 len behind Zan carrying 57.5kg at $201. On debut second last of 10 at Randwick Kensington Super 3yo+ MDN-Sw October 30 over 1400m, 9 len behind Snitzanova with 56.5kg at $101. In good hands but a win would surprise on what we've seen.

Third-up today. Resuming 4th of 10 at Nowra Super Mdn on February 23 over 1200m, 3.5 len behind Every Heart carrying 58kg at $7.50. Last start ran last of 7 at Kembla Grange Prov Mdn-Sw on March 14 over 1400m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Channelling with 58kg at $5. Capable of a better showing. Improver who has to be considered.
