Our new analyst that specialises in country / provincial NSW racing has sent through his selections for Friday’s Canberra meeting.
Track conditions:
Currently, the track is rated a soft 5. With nothing but frosty mornings and low teen temperatures, I expect the track to remain in the soft rating.
The rail is 3 metres out from the 1000m to the 380m and true the remainder.
Canberra is a lovely spacious track, so all competitors will be given there chance.

- Race 1
- Jockey: J Ford
- Trainer: M Smith
- Odds: $3.9 With TopSport
Matthew Smith saddles up the 4yo mare by Rip Van Winkle who I expect to fire today. Fourth up this preparation and getting out to the 2000m looks the recipe for a win.
Jumping from barrier 5, we should see J Ford settle in a forward position. Having already placed 4 times from 6 attempts at Canberra. Fingers crossed today is the day.

High Advice
- Race 6
- Jockey: N Souquet
- Trainer: D Scott
- Odds: $3.6 With TopSport
D Scott heads up the Hume with a float full of horses. Personally I think this is one of her better chances.
The 3yo gelding by Good Journey loves the soft going, having not missed a place at 3 attempts. With the main danger drawing wide, look for jockey N Souquet to position this bloke quite handy to the speed.
Fitness the only query, if he is fit and ready to go, will take a good one to beat him.
