Canberra Race 3 - Oskar Memorials Pace
ROYAL FOCUS (3) has been racing well of late. Finished second at her latest appearance over 1770m at this track, beaten 2.5 metres. A nice draw on the front line should ensure a cosy run. Meets a comparable field and she is a strong winning hope. MOVINTOHELLANDBACK (4) finished fourth last start over 1770m at this track, beaten 6 metres, after a modest fourth at Temora the run prior. Meets a similar quality field and is good enough to put herself in the winners' stall. ROCKET ME (2) is heading the right way, improving last time out to finish second at Parkes over 2040m. Genuine threat. BONJORGE (7) must be considered after she finished third over 1770m at this track six days ago.

Didn't do much at the last run, 8th (Sr1) over 1760m at Junee, beaten 40 m by Flexi Bet (2:14.90) in NR up to 42 on January 24 at $61. Before that was well back in the run when 8th (Fr4) over 1760m after racing wide at Junee beaten 11 m by When To Walkaway (2:11.60) in 2 WINs on January 19 at $151. Form not inspiring.

Two back was well beaten into fifth after being driven well back, behind Chillax at Parkes over 1660m in a NR 39 to 43 on February 27 at $12. Then a handy effort when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind I Lika Style at this track over 1770m in a NR up to 40 on March 9 at $11. Racing well and expected to be in the finish.
