Canberra Race 4 - Kennards Hire Plate (C1)
ARTIE STEAMER (1) won running away from his opponents at Gosford last time out, turning in an impressive performance to score by 2.6L. He lands in a CL1 here on the back of that effort and Boudvillain's booking is a big push for his chances. He looks set to go back-to-back. YES I WIN (5) was just fair at Newcastle on resumption, but he had trialled well going into that run. Back to Country level here is a big tick and jumping straight out to the mile looks a winning move. Wouldn't surprise to see him improve sharply. RULE OF FAITH (8) won well two back before closing nicely from last at Newcastle last time out. She drops back a level here and getting up to the mile looks a good move. Wouldn't surprise to see her bounce back to winning ways. ARISTOCRAT (3) missed last start on a Heavy deck at Nowra, but if he can run up to that effort back on top of the ground today, he won't be far away. VELIA (6) is next best.

At the latest run held ground to the line 2nd of 7 at Nowra Cl1-Sw on February 8 over 1600m, on a wet track; 2.25 len behind Tabor with 57.5kg at $15. Before that 7th of 10 at Kembla Grange Cl1 on January 22 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind Fast Track carrying 57kg at $26. Working up to a win. Won't be far away if he can run up to his latest effort.

Most recently held ground to the line 3rd of 11 at this track Cl1-Sw on February 6 over 2000m, 0.8 len behind Doc March with 54.5kg at $12. The run before that 3rd of 12 at Moruya Ctry Mdn-Sw on January 23 over 1650m, 1.2 len behind Star Turn Dancer carrying 57kg at $6. Not a reliable conveyance so prefer others.

Racing well recently. Last start ran on strongly from last on the turn; 3rd of 8 at Newcastle Prov Cl1 on January 31 over 1500m, 3.5 len behind Etoile Filante with 55kg at $7.50. The run before that came from midfield and won by a neck at Orange Mdn-Sw January 6 over 1400m defeating Sharbino with 56kg at $19. Well placed. Racing in good order and can't be discounted.

Second run back. First-up after seven months eased back early on 5th of 7 at Bathurst Mdn-Sw on January 30 over 1400m, 10 len behind Excuseme Mrofficer carrying 57.5kg at $26. Previously second-up ran last in a small field at Hawkesbury Mdn-Sw on July 20 over 1500m, slow going 9 len behind Tequisoda with 56.5kg at $41. Fitter but others are better placed.
