Canberra tips and results

Picksix brings the strongest recent form, winning last start over this track and distance 13 days ago. Drawn perfectly in barrier 3 and should get an ideal run. The improving form trend is significant.

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.20 · Rebecca Bronett Prag

Noctua has a perfect record at this track and distance combination with a win, a second and a third from three attempts. The inside barrier is advantageous, but first-up status after 112 days is a concern, especially with no previous first-up success.

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.00 · Jack Baker

Progressive mare coming off a strong maiden win at this track over 1400m. Has shown tactical speed and should handle the step up to the mile. Perfect record at Canberra and proven on soft tracks with a win from two starts in similar conditions. The class rise is offset by natural improvement and a light weight.

Our price $4.50 · SP $6.50 · Shaun Guymer

Storm Park brings excellent recent form with three consecutive placings including a narrow 2nd at this track over 2000m last start. The 4yo gelding is improving with racing and gets the blinkers on for the first time which could provide the edge needed to break through. While rising in class, his consistency and upside make him a genuine threat.

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.00 · Jay Ford

Tom Cruising finished 2nd in a similar race at this track last month and brings consistent form in this grade. Jay Ford is a quality jockey who should position him perfectly from barrier 2. While unproven at 2000m, his racing style suggests the trip should suit, and he's shown enough stamina in his recent runs to be competitive at this distance.

Our price $12.00 · SP $19.00 · Jack Martin

Run Raymond Run brings solid recent form with a second placing at this track 13 days ago. While the wide barrier is a concern, he has shown he can handle this track and the soft conditions.

Our price $5.50 · SP $17.00 · Coriah Keatings

Souk is the definition of consistency with 6 seconds and 2 thirds from 10 starts. He performs well fresh with 2 seconds from 4 first-up attempts and has a strong record on soft tracks with 3 seconds from 4 starts. Barrier 2 should allow him to take up a forward position, and while the 60kg is a concern, his consistency makes him a genuine place chance at the very least.

Our price $6.00 · SP $11.00 · Billy Owen

Step Quick is another consistent placegetter with 4 seconds and 1 third from 11 starts. The inside barrier should be advantageous, allowing him to save ground throughout. His recent form is solid with a 3rd last start at Gosford, and while his first-up record isn't spectacular, he should be competitive in this field. Billy Owen is a positive jockey booking for this track.

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.00 · Billy Owen

Second-up from a spell with a strong record in this pattern, he's well-placed from barrier 5 with proven soft track ability. Despite the class rise and top weight, his consistency (86% place rate) and strong record at Canberra (3: 2-1-0) make him the standout selection.

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.00 · Glenn Cahill

Ditterich brings solid recent form with a strong 3rd place finish just 11 days ago. His second-up record is excellent and he performs well on soft tracks.

Our price $9.00 · SP $19.00 · Shaun Guymer

With 15 days between runs and medium weight suitability, she represents a genuine value opportunity.

Our price $5.00 · SP $7.00 · Jay Ford

Hot Bandit brings strong credentials with an excellent overall record and proven track performance. Will likely push forward from barrier 4 and should handle the soft track conditions well with 3 wins from 7 starts on soft going. The top weight is a concern, but he's proven capable of carrying weight. Recent form is consistent without being spectacular, but his tactical speed gives him options in a race with expected fast tempo.

Our price $6.00 · SP $3.20 · Louise Day

Bravissima returns from a spell with a strong overall record of 4 wins from 14 starts. Her first-up record is solid with 1 win from 3 attempts, and she's drawn perfectly in barrier 8 to get a good position. The soft track should suit with a win and a placing from 3 soft track starts. The main query is her fitness after 201 days off.

Our price $3.50 · SP $2.50 · Louise Day

Dooralong comes off a strong maiden win at Moruya where he led throughout. The 5YO gelding has drawn perfectly in barrier 1 which should allow him to utilize his natural speed in a race likely to favor on-pace runners. While still relatively inexperienced with just two starts, his progressive form pattern suggests further improvement is likely, though the class rise presents a challenge.
