Canberra Race 5 - Tab Federal
A competitive Federal at Open level with lots of speed. LAUREL HILL (2) brings two solid efforts from town and has plenty in the tank. She's on a 9-day return and will sit off a quick pace and have the last crack at them. FINE VINTAGE (1) is a leader seeking the hat-trick off an easy win here in this grade, heavily backed. The 2kg claim takes care of the weight increase, and he peaks today. Has to avoid a speed duel, but he will be tough to beat. PRETTY VEGAS (4) is also free running and is well-placed. She was plain at Canterbury last time but threatened at Goulburn and Randwick prior. She'll carry just 51kg with the 4kg claimer booked. CAPITAL HEART (8) folded up from the front at Moruya but went close there prior, and that's a better indication of his ability. He's been kept on the fresh side, and winning rider Collett is reunited. Carries 3kg less and has to be considered. CYCLONE RUPERT (6) maps well and is in the mix.

Second run back. Comes off a 42-day let-up. First-up after two months ran last of 13 at Moruya Bm74 on June 27 over 1200m, slow going 9 len behind Donwon with 59.5kg at $12. Previously second-up 6th of 11 at Tamworth Open on April 24 over 1200m, 4 len behind Arctic Legend with 55kg at $7.50. Happy to risk here on what he's shown lately.

At the latest run sat on the pace before fading second last of 8 at Canterbury F&M Bm64 on July 23 over 1250m, slow going 7 len behind Amreekiyah with 59kg at $10. Before that won by 1.1 len at Goulburn Bm66 July 8 over 1200m in the wet defeating Tonkatsu Goddess with 60.5kg at $4.40. Prepared to overlook that last run and gets in light.

Recent form sound. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at this track Tab Fed Open on July 25 over 1206m, 1.5 len behind Fine Vintage carrying 55kg at $6.50. The start before that led but faded 2nd of 8 at Albury Bm66 on July 18 over 1175m, slow going 1.1 len behind Rubi Air with 61kg at $16. Not far away last start. Can't be ruled out.

Last start did the work up front then tired second last of 10 at Moruya Bm74 on July 11 over 1425m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Your Not The Boss carrying 58kg at $8. The start before that crossed from a wide gate to lead but couldn't hold on when 3rd of 13 at Moruya Bm74 on June 27 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.5 len behind Donwon with 57.5kg at $6.50. Worth another chance.

Third-up today and won third-up previously. Resuming got back early 6th of 8 at this track Bm60 on June 20 over 1080m, 2 len behind Ferrari Girl carrying 59.5kg at $21. Second-up ran on from midfield and won by 1.1 len at Albury Bm66 July 18 over 1175m on a soft track defeating Vella Magic carrying 56.5kg at $20. Not the worst.
