Canterbury Race 6 - Kerbside (Bm78)
JUST AWESOME (4) is a progressive gelding who has been well placed to win his last 2 starts on the bounce at Newcastle, and again he looks to be the one to beat with a 3kg claim in a tougher field. He steps up from 900m to 1100m, but has won over this trip in the past, and the hat-trick beckons. ACTION KING (5) has good form in the country, and he is also very competitive at this level. He carries 2kg less for this, and has winning form over this trip, winning twice in the past. With the right run early, he can have a say in the outcome of this race. ROYAL COMMODORE (3) improved second up in a better field at Eagle Farm nearly 3 weeks ago, finishing not far off the placings on heavy ground. If he strikes a wet track here, then he would not be a shock winner. HEZDARNHOTTOO (1) is a lightly tried 5YO gelding with plenty of talent. He resumes at an easier level, and has not missed a placing fresh up in the past. A recent trial win suggests he is ready to rumble.

Has won previously first-up and resumes here after a break of five months. Finished off last preparation tenth of 14 at Randwick Bm78 June 20 over 1400m, soft track; 4.5 len behind Glorious Moments carrying 60.5kg at $11. First up last campaign third of 9 at Rosehill 3&4yo Bm78 February 21 over 1100m, 0.9 len behind Signor Tortoni carrying 58.5kg at $14. Draws okay and should be thereabouts.

At the latest run 7th of 11 in a Hcp at Doomben on October 31 over 1110m, on a slow track; 3.5 len behind Now Is The Hour carrying 53kg at $15. Before that 4th of 9 in a Hcp at Gold Coast on October 10 over 1000m, 0.8 len behind Blitzburg with 57kg at $5. Capable of better so worth considering.

Form hard to fault. Comes here off a 38-day let-up. Most recently won by 2 len in a Bm68 at Newcastle on October 6 over 900m defeating Generous Harry carrying 58.5kg at $2.80. The race before that scored a big 3 len win in a Prov Bm64 at Newcastle on September 19 over 900m defeating Bethsheba carrying 58kg at $2.30. Finds a nice race and should be right there at the business end.

Dual acceptor. Recent form sound. Last start favourite; came from midfield and won by 1.5 len in a Open Bm87 at Canberra on October 23 over 1000m defeating Starlight Girl with 60kg at $4. The start before that sat on the pace when 3rd of 11 in a Tab Fed Open at Canberra on September 18 over 1000m, 1.75 len behind Keikoku with 57kg at $3.80. Going well enough to cope with this tougher assignment.
