Canberra Race 5 - Tooheys Canberra Guineas (L)
A competitive Guineas. WATSON (3) was tracking nicely before leading and folding in the Group 3 Eskimo Stakes at Randwick. Has won a Randwick trial easily since and will hit this race at peak fitness. Will race forward from an inside barrier and with Tim Clark sticking aboard is sure to give a big sight. AERODROME (1) was expected to win an 88 at Randwick first-up but is fitness gave out late beaten 2L.The longer sprint suits and he has plenty up his sleeve. Will have come on and should be right in it. TRANSCEND (10) is well up to this at best. Disappointed in a 78 at Randwick first up, but he maps well and Tommy Berry stays with him. Expect quick improvement. AZARAX (4) rates similarly on his first-up win in a 64 at Hawkesbury. Had come off Listed grade and is proven second-up.

At only start last preparation tracked the speed and boxed on steadily 4th of 7 at Rosehill in the G3 Up&Coming on August 30 over 1300m, slow going 3 len behind Grand Prairie with 58kg at $4.40.

Form hard to fault. Comes off a 29 day let-up. Most recently 4th of 8 at Randwick in the G3 Esk Prince on February 7 over 1200m, 4 len behind Tempted carrying 56kg at $8. The run before that won by 3 len at Canterbury Cg&E Bm72 January 30 over 1250m defeating Calga Power with 54kg at $4.40. Suited here and can bounce back.

Looking to keep his unbeaten record intact. Had his first run for this campaign last start favourite; ran on from midfield and won by 1.3 len at Kembla Grange Cl1 February 24 over 1200m defeating Aranese carrying 58.5kg at $1.80. Can't be ruled out.

Second run back. First-up after four months 9th of 12 at Rosehill Bm78 on February 21 over 1300m, 6 len behind Captain Furai with 54.5kg at $4.80. Previously second-up ran on from midfield and scored a big 4 len win at Te Rapa Maat September 27 over 1300m in heavy going defeating Billy Blinx with 54kg at $3.50. Looks a strong top-three prospect.
