Queanbeyan Race 5 - Hotel Queanbeyan Thunderbolt Showcase Hcp
Tricky. STARLIGHT GIRL (3) improved again leading and just missing in Open grade at Canberra, and then wasn't too far away in a stronger contest at Gundagai. She draws low and won her only start at the track. She will position forward and should be hard to peg back. KING GUTHO (2) has needed the two runs this preparation, the latest at Gundagai against the above. He's raced well in stronger than this and flies on his home track. Has a low barrier and Newitt aboard, and quick improvement is likely. PRINCESS HALO (4) comes out of the same race beaten 3L. Led and won a 66 at Nowra prior and JVO replaces the apprentice. She's likely to feature. CRAVING MAGIC (1) didn't have much luck at Canberra first-up and has a slow recovery. Has the winkers on again and has pieces of form that would see him competitive. Expect better.

Second-up. First-up after four months raced behind the speed prior to fading to run last of 13 at Canberra Fed Open on November 4 over 1300m, on a slow track; 12 len behind Fangela with 59.5kg at $16. Previously second-up 2nd in a small field at Nowra Ctry Cl4 Prev on February 9 over 1200m, on a slow track; nose behind Vella Fox carrying 61.5kg at $4. Fitter and should be around the mark.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 6th of 12 at Canberra Open Bm85 on October 24 over 1000m, slow going 2.25 len behind Vella Fox with 59kg at $26. Second run from a spell 8th of 12 at Gundagai Tuckerbox Bm87 on November 14 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Who But Roo with 58kg at $61. Can improve. Key chance at best.

Most recently sat behind the speed prior to fading 9th of 12 at Gundagai Tuckerbox Bm87 on November 14 over 1000m, 3.5 len behind Who But Roo with 55kg at $20. The race before that tried to lead throughout but was claimed late 2nd of 12 at Canberra Open Bm85 on October 24 over 1000m, slow going 0.5 len behind Vella Fox with 55kg at $21. Hard to beat this time.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up failed to make an impression; second last of 8 at Wyong Prov Bm68 on October 30 over 1000m, 6 len behind Oceans One carrying 54kg at $11.

Dual acceptor. At the latest run 2nd in a small field at Bong Bong Open Hcp on November 21 over 1200m, 5 len behind Mojo Music carrying 66kg at $1.80. Before that in a small field at Cootamundra Bm66 on October 5 over 1100m, 4.5 len behind Sutton Vella with 58kg at $2.60. Might just find this lot a bit smart.
