GOING: S(5)

CASINO CANBERRA CANBERRA GUINEAS PREVIEW 1400m

Track: Soft 5   Clear (Max: 27)   Rail: True. (Pent: 4.21)  

Only a small field with Xcessive Force likely to find a comfortable lead. The Seib barn is flying and XCESSIVE FORCE (6) can add to the record. Led and won a Goulburn by a space on debut and was immediately spelled. Owns a comfortable Maiden win here and rates to be winning. SUN 'N' SAND (3) resumed at the Sapphire Coast in stronger and missed the hat-trick by 1.6L. Maps well and Collett sticking aboard is a positive. She has more to give. DUPLI KATE (4) won here first-up and will build on that. Maps to get every chance. HELLYEAH (7) is on the improve and goes in at a price. SUGGESTED PLAY: Backing Xcessive Force.
