Our Canberra ACT Racing Tips for Friday’s meeting.
Comments
The track is soft and the rail is in the true position. With just over 2 weeks to go until the Canberra Cup and the Black Opal there are some good lead-up races today.
Best Bet
Reet Petite (Canberra Race 3 No. 8)
This mare from the Keith Dryden stable was slowly away last start over 1400m and made good ground late to finish 2nd. She looked unlucky then and should appreciate the rise to 1600m. The testing material.

Each Way
Kenyan Charm (Canberra Race 5 No. 10)
This filly won by 1.5 lengths on debut then was heavily backed and grabbed late to a be a close runner-up over 1200m at Wagga on 26th January. Danny Beasley sticks and she looks worth an each-way bet.
