Canberra Race 3 - Hops & Hooves Festival 26 September Mdn Hcp
HOLD MY DRINK (1) just missed in a photo finish two back before failing on the heavy deck last time out at Kembla. Back to a more suitable race today and he looks to get every chance. Can land the knockout blow this time around. OLIVIA MIA (4) looks as though she'll appreciate coming back to an easier maiden this time around. She's shown good talent at the trials, but hasn't translated that to the races just yet. Today could be the day in what looks a very suitable race. MAGNANAMOUS (6) stuck on well over the shorter course here last time out and should appreciate getting out in distance today. Can play a leading role. THE BUS (11) can resume on a positive note. ACQUARO (5) is better than he showed last start and won't be far away.

Most recently faded in the straight 8th of 10 at Kembla Grange Mdn on June 2 over 1500m, in the wet; 8 len behind Five Of A Kind with 58.5kg at $21. The start before that sat on speed throughout when 2nd of 10 at this track Mdn-Sw on May 22 over 1280m, nose behind Comic Culture carrying 59kg at $7.50. Just missed here two back and looks well placed to go one better.

Raced twice to date. At debut, ran last in a small field at Canberra Mdn-Sw on May 8 over 1000m, slow going 3 len behind Sweet Rose carrying 57kg at $12. Last start eased back early on 6th of 10 at this track Mdn on May 22 over 1080m, 7 len behind Bedda Mia with 56.5kg at $51. Has plenty of upside and can play a feature role.

Second-up. First-up after four months second last of 13 at Wagga Mdn-Sw on June 4 over 1300m, on rain affected going; 15 len behind Burning Issues with 59kg at $151. Previously second-up ran last of 10 at Gosford Super Mdn on February 5 over 1000m, 16 len behind Charka with 59kg at $201. Hard to get excited about his chances.

Had two starts to date. At debut, eased back early on 8th of 11 at Hawkesbury Prov Mdn on March 26 over 1300m, 5 len behind Am I Dreaming carrying 56.5kg at $14. Second-up second last of 7 at Hawkesbury F&M Mdn-Sw on May 21 over 1400m, on a wet track; 11 len behind Obsidian Dream with 58kg at $14. A different scenario here can see her improve.
