Queanbeyan Race 3 - Defence Force Cup 17 May (Bm66)
STAR BLING (4) has been within range his last four over a mile in 58s and has raced a $3 favourite his last two at the Sapphire Coast. He's on an 8-day return and gives every indication that the middle distance will suit. Tumbles in weight in a 66 and finally draws an inside barrier. In good hands and gets her chance. JUSTIFIABLY (2) presented third-up and was too good over this distance for the 60 graders at Canberra. Maps for the run-of-the-race and Boudvillain is reunited. He's a live chance. TAVIJEWEL (6) pushed forward last time and fought on to finish 1.5 lengths away in third over 2400m at Wellington. Comes back 400m on an 11-day return, and 2x winning rider Freeman is back on. In the mix. KOCKIBITOO (5) has run some decent races at Albury over this distance, and it wouldn't surprise to see him go better third-up.

Most recently second last of 10 at Canberra Bm60 on April 3 over 2000m, slow going 9 len behind Justifiably carrying 55kg at $31. Before that 11th of 13 at Canberra Bm55 on March 25 over 2000m, on a slow track; 10 len behind Awesome Artist with 56.5kg at $16. Doubt he will threaten these.
