Our Canberra ACT Racing Tips for Friday’s meeting on 30th December.
Best Bet
Trooper Knuckle (Canberra Race 9 No. 7)
This five-year-old gelding trained by Keith Dryden has won his last 3 races in a row, all at Queanbeyan. He won a Country Boosted BM 58 Handicap over 1200m at Queanbeyan by 0.25 length on 20 November on soft going, then was a 0.44 length winner over 1460m in a BM 58 Handicap on 8 December. He’s run well on a soft track before and should be able to make it 4 wins in a row.

Each Way
Newtown Braveheart (Canberra Race 6 No. 6)
Scott Collings trains this six-year-old gelding who has one wins and 6 places from 18 starts. His only win was on soft going and 3 of his placings were on soft going. He looked the winner briefly before being overrrun in the last 100m for 0.35 length 4th over 1400m at Gundagai on soft going on 11 November, then got back to last but ran on strongly in the last 200m for 2 lengths 4th over 1200m at Sapphire Coast on 28 November. Back up to 1400m suits and he looks a nice each-way bet.
