AU - Canberra - Race 5

INCHYRA (8) is the top pick with clear reasons to improve sharply third-up. Her latest run in a Class 2 at this track reads poorly on paper, finishing last and beaten seven and a half lengths, but she was held up at straightening and now comes back to 5f, where she ran well two back. Expecting a much better effort. THORSTEN (3) brings the upside after beating Capdiva at Newcastle in a Mdn and has missed the quinella only once from four starts. Down to country grade this time ticks some boxes and with his racing pattern, he can go back-to-back. LA STIAVA (10) had excuses when wide throughout in a BM66 at Wagga and her Queanbeyan Class 1 win two back gives her the right profile from barrier one. HELLUVA TEEN (5) has been honest in stronger BM65 and BM66 races, owns solid 5f figures and won't be far away. STAR EMPIRE (2) is in winning form and can't be discounted despite coming back to 5f.
