Canberra Race 8 - Watty's Rural & Domestic Fencing Pace
BONJORGE (9) put the writing on the wall two runs ago then improved further last start when she scored by 1.5 metres over 1740m at Riverina Paceway. Will need an ounce of luck to slot in from this tricky draw. Big chance in a similar assignment. EYES OFF TIGER (1) made it three minor placings in succession at his latest appearance over 1770m at this track when beaten 6 metres into third after being up on the pace. No excuses from this advantageous draw. Big chance based on those recent efforts. PENCIL ME IN (2) is on the radar after her last-start sixth over 1770m at this track six days ago. GLENBURNS WATERS (5) is worth some thought after her last-start fourth over 2170m at this track on October 6.

Solid performance when beaten by 2.5 m finishing second behind Captain Tids at Young over 1720m on September 29 at $7.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 6 m finishing third behind Ellens Delight at this track over 1770m on October 6 at $9.50. Winning chance.

Recent efforts haven't been up to her best. Last start was driven from back in the field when 6th (Fr5) over 1770m after being wide early at this track was 10th-15.8 at the bell, beaten 15 m by Chocolate Delight (2:11.90) in 3yo+ on October 6 at $6. At the previous start 5th (Fr5) over 1710m after showing early pace at Goulburn, at the bell was 2nd-2.5 beaten 6 m by See Me No More (2:04.30) on September 28 at $5.50. Likely improver.

Fair run when beaten by 3.5 m finishing fourth after showing early speed, behind Mickey Be Nimble at this track over 1770m in a 3yo+ on September 21 at $8.50. Then a handy effort when beaten by 5.5 m finishing third behind Chocolate Delight at this track over 1770m in a 3yo+ on October 6 at $23. Can improve. Honest and is a strong winning chance.
