Canberra Race 6 - Tab Federal
KING OF DRAGONS (7) was only beaten a length in a BM72 at Canterbury. The move back from mid-week company reads well and he appears the likely leader of the field. JVO can dictate from the front and he'll be tough to mow down on his recent figures. I'VE BEAN TRYIN' (1) is the class counterpoint, returning after three months with strong 1400m credentials. Wasn't disgraced at Caulfield after some good efforts in prior at Hawkesbury and Randwick. Drawn nicely and can fire. CANDO ATTITUDE (5) has not fired in two runs this campaign, but her overall record is still sharp and she gets to a more suitable assignment third-up. BLOW IN (3) has the current form, winning a BM68 at Hawkesbury after a close third at this venue on resumption. Boasts a strong third-up record and McDougall's booking is a big tick. stablemate LAUREL HILL (2) draws the inside again with the blinkers being reapplied and can't be left out of calculations.

Returns after three months off following a Caulfield Heath ninth in Saturday company, where he was tightened at the start and beaten just over six lengths in a 3yo+ Benchmark 70. His Randwick fourth two back in a 3yo+ Benchmark 78 on heavy ground was far stronger, and he is a proven 1400m winner with a track-and-trip success. Had excuses last start and was sound in town prior - this shapes nicely.

Comes back on a one-week turnaround after finishing sixth in a Benchmark 82 at Dubbo, beaten three and a half lengths after being hampered early and covering ground. Her Illawarra Grange fourth in a Benchmark 64 was honest without being sharp, and she has a good record with Damon Budler. Gets the blinkers back on today and she gets every chance off the inside.

Lifted third run in when winning a Benchmark 68 at Hawkesbury, settling midfield and finishing too well to beat Tavolo by just over half a length. That followed a close third at this track on soft ground, where he was beaten half a length after finishing strongly. Too good at Hawkesbury last start and he rates highly on the back of that performance.

Backs up quickly after finishing tenth at Cootamundra, beaten just under four lengths after racing wide throughout, so that run is better than it reads. His Canterbury effort prior in a 3yo+ Benchmark 72 was plain, when unwanted in betting and beaten five and a half lengths by Fierceness, with King Of Dragons well ahead of him. Just not going well enough.

Has been below her best in two runs this campaign, finishing seventh in a Benchmark 85 at Bathurst last start when beaten just over five lengths with no obvious excuse. She was also last in a 3yo+ FM Benchmark 72 at Canterbury first-up, beaten six lengths. Third-up now and a return to her best form can see her knock this off.

Back from a five-month break after ending last campaign with a last placing at Parkes, where she over-raced and failed to make ground. Her previous run was a ninth in the Listed Wagga Wagga Gold Cup at long odds, so the recent form reads mixed at best. Expecting her to find them too sharp on resumption.

Went close in a 3yo+ Benchmark 72 at Canterbury last start, leading and only being beaten a length by Fierceness after being rated an outside chance. He had been beaten four and a half lengths in a 5yo+ Benchmark 72 at Randwick-Kensington the run before, but the latest effort is the one to work from. Beautifully placed off the latest effort and he can get back to winning ways.

Finished fourth in a small-field Benchmark 82 at Leeton last start, but was still beaten just over five lengths after beginning slowly. His first-up Queanbeyan eighth in a Benchmark 74 came with some interference, though he started at big odds and made limited impression. This is much tougher.
