Canberra Race 3 - Watty's Rural & Domestic Fencing Pace
UNCLE CRAIGO (6) has been competitive of late and kept the ball rolling last time when a nose from the winner in second over 2170m at this track. Big chance based on those recent efforts. FREASON (8) was responsible for a far better performance last time out, finishing fourth over 2170m at this track. May need luck at some stage extracting from the inside of the second row. Meets a similar line up so he can salute this time around. TROUBLE IN HEAVEN (10) is looming as a real threat after a better effort last start, finishing third at this track over 2170m. MAJORS CREEK (5) is worth some thought after her last-start fifth over 2170m at this track on June 1. Include in exotic bets for value.

Returns from the paddock. At the latest first-up run was driven from back in the field when 8th (Fr8) over 1730m at Bathurst beaten 17 m by Uncle Tony (2:05.60) on January 10 2025 at $61. Might need some time.

Failed to impress last start; 6th (Sr3) over 1770m at this track beaten 25 m by Rudimentary (2:07.70) on June 1 at $81. Showed ability the race before when he won by 2 m after showing early speed, (Fr5) at Young (2:08.40) beating Limbo Lenny in on May 26 at $7.50 at the bell was leading 3.4. Strong contender.
