Our Canberra Horse Racing Tips for this Friday’s meeting.
Dream Game (Canberra Race 4 No. 3)
Since coming to Matthew Dale’s stable from Queensland, the son of Dream Ahead hasn’t had the best of luck. A placing in Canberra on his stable debut was marred by the lameness found after the race before getting the blinkers on at Moruya and racing four wide, finishing a distant eighth. He went out for a break and come back over a fortnight ago, breaking his maiden in impressive style at Moruya. I think they adopt similar tactics here and head forward from barrier seven, and I don’t think the wet track is going to be a bother for him. Everything points to a forward showing here second up.

Majestic Lilly (Canberra Race 2 No.8)
Happy to go with this girl who was fantastic last start. She sat outside of the lead the entire journey with Molly Burke in the saddle, looked beaten on the turn but grinded away before going through the gears to finish under half a length off the winner in second. Her work through the line really impressed me and on a track like Canberra, she can again sit near the pace before really getting into her work late. She is so close to her second career win, and I reckon she will go close to getting it here.
Current Price: $9.00

Key Comments Quality day of racing with a 10 race card. The best bet is looking for four straight and will be a popular elect with punters.
