Canberra Race 2 - Tab Federal
ROSE AYE (6) drops from Sydney Saturday company and is clearly the one to beat. Was ridden upside down last time in town when back in the ruck. Blinkers go on first time and you can bet she will be right up on speed this time. proven enough at 1200m to take beating. Cole's 2kg claim gets her in at featherweight and will make her an arduous task to reel in. GRACEFUL ELLEN (3) kicks off her climb to the Kozzy. Is drawn to stalk them into it and will appreciate a solid tempo. Suspect she will be hitting the line hard. CHOLANTE (7) was a sharp improver here last time in her second start for the stable, winning a CL2. Gets significant weight off with the rise in grade but has more to offer and suspect she will get better the more time Pepper spends with her. BRUTAL EYES (9) has returned in good order with back-to-back placings with excuses last time with difficulty getting clear. Deserves safe keeping in the minors. HELL OF A FOX (4) returns short of her best but is a knockout hope late.

Picked up well at Canberra last start and was not beaten far when fifth to Hurry Miss on soft ground, with the stewards noting he was steadied late. His Wagga fourth on heavy ground two back was also sound from well back. Place only if he finds extra.

Returns from a lengthy spell after a high-quality second to Chidiac at Randwick, beaten a length in Saturday company over 1400m on soft ground. She had won a Class 5 at Goulburn the start before, coming from back in the field to beat Crusader Kings by a neck. Big chance if ready fresh.

Returns from a lengthy spell after finishing eighth in a Benchmark 84 at Scone, beaten five lengths after settling well back and never seriously threatening. The run before was much better, winning at Canberra over 1400m as favourite by just over half a length from Blow In. Place claims if sharp enough.

Placed in a Benchmark 82 at Moruya last start, beaten just over three lengths after covering ground and working home into third near the top of an open market. He has won at this track and distance, but recent form still leaves him short of the main chances unless everything falls his way.

Drops from Saturday company after finishing tenth to Decorum in a 3yo+ Benchmark 78 at Randwick, beaten four and a half lengths after being bumped and having an equipment issue on jumping. Her prior fifth at Randwick in a 3yo+ FM Benchmark 78 was sound with market support. Third-up at 55kg, she looks the one to beat.

Produced a well-timed finish to win a Class 2 at Canberra last start on soft ground, beating Kendalia by just under a length after travelling well and taking over near the 200m. She was held up when last in a small field at Canberra Acton first-up, so there was more merit in the improvement. Harder grade now, but the setup gives her a live winning hope.

Held third in a Benchmark 66 at Gundagai on heavy ground last start, beaten just under three lengths after sitting handy and having difficulty getting clear from the home turn to the 200m. She had been beaten only half a length at Moruya two back after racing wide throughout. Honest profile for the minors, with a win needing another lift.

Led and boxed on for fourth in a Benchmark 64 at Newcastle last week, beaten just over a length after being overrun late. That was a better effort than her previous Canberra run, where she led on soft ground but faded to last behind Hurry Miss. Needs to sustain it late.

Closed off nicely from the rear when sixth in a Benchmark 74 at Queanbeyan, beaten a length and a half after beginning slowly. The rise to 1200m is useful, but his wet-track win record keeps the winning case in check.
