Canberra Race 8 - Tab Federal - National Sprint Preview
RINGAROSA (2) is on the quick turnaround after a 3.1L defeat at Canterbury last week. This looks a much easier race than the one she contested there and the winkers go on for the first time today. Ramsbotham's claim comes in handy and she can get back to winning ways. KEIKOKU (6) was very impressive over 1300m last start but couldn't fend off the winner who nabbed him late. He was off a short freshen there and will no doubt be better for that effort. Maps beautifully here for Martin and it wouldn't surprise to see him go one better. LOVE SHUCK (3) hits this third-up and ready to fire after doing some work early and tiring out of contention last time. Winkers replace the visors here and he'll be well-positioned from the draw. MY LAST HOORAY (4) stuck on well on resumption at the Sapphire Coast and will be improved for that run. Keep safe. CHASING A QUID (7) closed strongly last start and now draws inside. Can be in the finish again.

Most recently 3rd of 10 at this track Fedral Open on February 6 over 1300m, 1.75 len behind Craving Magic carrying 55kg at $14. The race before that raced on the pace before fading second last of 11 at Sapphire Coast Begasprint on February 1 over 1200m, on a slow track; 4.5 len behind Los Padres carrying 55kg at $26. Thereabouts last time out. Closed strongly last start and can finish closer with a better draw today.
