Canterbury Race 2 - Jacquinot First Yearlings 2026 @ Widden Mdn Hcp
EXTRA HEIGHTS (4) copped early interference then raced back in the field and wide so his effort to be beaten just 1.3 lengths first-up over 1200m at Randwick was full of merit. Only needs the rub of the green this evening to take care of this field. RHETORIC (3) was an easing favourite and didn't finish off as hoped when unplaced on debut over 1200m here on New Year's Day. Should have a bit more to offer than that - worth another chance in an average maiden. EXTREMELY PERFECT (1) is one worth monitoring on debut for the Ryan/Alexiou camp. By Extreme Choice from an Exceed And Excel mare. Trialled well at Rosehill recently and looks to have his share of talent. MASTER ZOUS (7) led and gave a great sight here last start when having his first run since changing stables. Fitter and worth following. YESNOVA (2) ran a couple of nice races at the provincials to launch his career then was safely held at this circuit last time. Each-way chance only.

Three-year-old gelding (Extreme Choice - Absolutely Perfect) will no doubt benefit from the three trials leading in today's debut, the latest a second on January 2 at Rosehill. Looks set for a bright start to his career.

Last start sat behind the speed prior to fading 8th of 10 at this track Cge Mdn-Sw on January 1 over 1200m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Royal Corporal with 54.5kg at $7. Before that 2nd of 11 at Hawkesbury Mid Mdn on December 7 over 1300m, neck behind Lethal Love with 59kg at $5. Worth forgiving the one ordinary run.

Third race start. First start 7th of 9 at Wyong 2yo Mdn on July 24 over 1300m, slow going 3 len behind Azarax carrying 58kg at $4.60. Went for a spell before returning 5th of 12 at Randwick 3yo Mdn-Sw on December 26 over 1200m, 1.3 len behind Performance with 57kg at $14. Will come on from that run and should be right in the mix.

Second run back. First-up after six months 4th of 13 at Nowra Mdn on December 31 over 1200m, 2 len behind Gem Tycoon carrying 58kg at $2.70. Previously second-up second last in a small field at Sale 2yo Mdn-Sw on July 6 over 1200m, in the wet; 9 len behind Mongolian Gobi carrying 58kg at $3. Much tougher here but is fitter and cannot be ruled out.

Changed stables before his last rune when he rolled along in front before being edged out 2nd of 10 at this track Cge Mdn-Sw on January 1 over 1200m, on a slow track; 1.4 len behind Royal Corporal with 57.5kg at $17. Before that 6th of 12 at Kilmore Mdn-Sw on November 23 over 1200m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Tan Tat Delight carrying 58kg at $15. Starting to find some form and this looks a winnable race.
