Canberra Race 5

Act Tyrepower Belconnen Pace

Stake: $7,630

LOUIE THE PUNTER (3) has not raced for 13 months. Looks forward enough for this return after a minor placing in a recent trial. Has the benefit of a good draw. Sure to prove hard to beat on his return. SIX AGAIN (5) had been about the mark consistently then maintained the momentum last start when he finished third over 2170m at this track, beaten 2.5 metres to make it three minor placings from his past four starts. Primary contender in this comparable race. SNEAK A PEEK (6) must be considered after she finished runner-up over 2170m at this track six days ago. BOLZANO NZ (1) last appeared when seventh over 2090m at Hobart six months ago. Expect a better effort to kick off this prep, especially with the advantage of the pole position.. Something for the Multiples: LOUIE THE PUNTER NZ (3) SNEAK A PEEK NZ (6)

Two back was well beaten into fourth behind The Ex Horseist at Albury over 2170m in a NR up to 55 on November 12 at $151. Then a handy effort when a close second behind Deebo at this track over 2170m in a NR up to 50 on December 9 at $11. One of the main contenders.
