Canberra Race 2 - Wish You Were Here Mdn Hcp
Tricky. UNREAL EXPECTATION (2) debuts and has trialled well at Hawkesbury. Lever sticks, and he draws inside. Looks to have plenty of ability, and this is a winnable assignment. LIGHTLY SPARKLED (5) brought strong form to Goulburn first-up but didn't finish it off (vet cleared). She will be sharper today and keeps the 1.5kg claim. Should go close. AZZUCCA (4) resumes and draws inside. She's good enough, and a bold run is likely. MCTOMINAY (1) won a trial and looked a run short at the Sapphire Coast on debut. He will likely push forward, and strips fitter. It's hard to risk the Loy-Pepper linkage.

Resuming after a five-and-a-half months break. Finished off last preparation seventh of 11 at Moruya Super Mdn January 6 over 1010m, soft track; 5.5 len behind Bengal carrying 57.5kg at $26. On debut second of 12 at Canberra Mdn December 6 over 1000m, soft track; a head behind Miss Backchat carrying 56.5kg at $16. Deserves thought.
