Canberra Race 8 - Mike Cramsie Memorial Hcp (C1)
Tricky. FALCON LAIR (1) resumes for a top Sydney stable and Collett's booking is a decent push for his chances. He missed 1L over at Goulburn at his only fresh outing and was spelled off a Maiden win there over a mile. Has two metro trials under the saddle and this is winnable if he's presented on song. Local gallopers fill the next three slots. WOLF ISLAND (5) resumed at Albury over shorter and looked a run short. He's presented off a heavily bet and deserved Maiden win over 1300m at this track. Keeps Jack Martin and can feature with the extra fitness. SHOWTIME MAGGIE (11) improved sharply winning her Maiden comfortably at Moruya. Keeps an in-form jockey and is sure to keep improving. Stablemate SHOREMAN (13) deserves consideration at a price. Has switched from the Matt Dale yard on a 185-day return and is a free runner drawn the inside barrier. Was last seen winning a Moruya Maiden and McDougall's booking sparks interest.

Second run back. First-up after three months made ground from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Albury Cl1 on January 19 over 1175m, 2 len behind Coco De Luxe with 56kg at $16. Previously second-up came from midfield; 3rd of 13 at Forbes Super Mdn on August 3 over 1300m, on rain affected going; long-neck behind Ishikari carrying 55kg at $5.50.

At the latest run 5th of 7 at Gosford F&M Bm64 on January 9 over 1200m, 4 len behind Trafalgar Square carrying 57.5kg at $21. Before that came home strongly from last on the turn and won by 0.6 len at Goulburn Mdn December 19 over 1100m defeating Divine Timing with 58kg at $5. An inside stall is a big advantage. Well placed at best.
