Canberra Race 5 - Casino Canberra Canberra Guineas Preview (Bm65)
SPREAD THE LOVE (6) showed plenty in his debut campaign, missing on a wet deck before the break, but he didn't lose any admirers. His recent trial coming into this was strong and that form was franked earlier this week. Should get every chance to punch his ticket to the Guineas. WOLF ISLAND (5) looks targeted towards this race with the booking of Cahill a big push for his chances. He closed nicely last time out over the 1300m journey and now he looks ready to peak third-up into the campaign. Can take the next step. ZOUFIELD (2) gets the blinkers on today, as well as the ultimate gear change coming into this on resumption. Costin takes the ride first-up and he did show good ability in his debut campaign. Can play a leading role. TRIPTOLEMUS (3) disappointed last time out, but his fresh win suggested he was a gelding on the rise. Can bounce back. CASHBOOK (1) is not to be discounted.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. Resuming ran on from midfield; 2nd of 13 at Albury Cl1 on January 19 over 1175m, 2 len behind Coco De Luxe with 56kg at $16. Second run from a spell from last on the turn 5th of 10 at this track Cl1 on February 6 over 1300m, 3.5 len behind Party Boss with 57.5kg at $5. This looks a target and a much better run is on

Racing first-up today. Finished off last campaign second of 7 at Goulburn Ctry Cl1 September 12 over 1300m, on heavy track; 1.3 len behind Luna Angel carrying 55.5kg at $3.10. At his first start favourite; won by long-neck Goulburn Ctry Mdn-Sw August 24 over 1200m in the wet defeating Mary Le Bone with 56.5kg at $1.50. Impressive trial coming into this and looks the one to beat off the inside barrier.

Second run back. First-up after five months tracked the speed and boxed on steadily; won by 0.6 len at Sapphire Coast Mdn January 31 over 1200m in soft going defeating Capital Babe carrying 57kg at $7. Previously second-up 3rd of 8 at Sapphire Coast Mdn-Sw on July 27 over 1400m, on a slow track; 5.5 len behind London Star with 56.5kg at $2.50. A lot harder here but he may be one for exotics.
