Iron Jack Canberra Guineas 2022 Preview
Track: Soft Weather: Fine
Strong edition of the Canberra Guineas that includes a mix of talent. Von Trapp certainly has shown glimpses of ability and sees a drop in grade. Cape Breton showed a big turn of foot first up and the Waterhouse stable are represented by Silent Impact who is the current race favourite.
Iron Jack Canberra Guineas 2022 Runner by Runner
1. Silent Impact (17)
Silent Impact has to deal with barrier 17 but if Tim Clark can get it to the front it will be very hard to get past. Has a strong case.
2. Military Expert (1)
Military Expert will be getting the right run on the speed and the jockey is 1/1 aboard. In the mix.
3. Cape Breton (9)
Great hope and one of the best jockeys in Australia to negate the tough draw.
4. Flying Crazy (6)
Flying Crazy has an excellent turn of foot. It brings in the right form and can win.
5. Construct (5)
Construc is a little bit off the boil at the moment but its best efforts see it go close. A market push would be ideal.
6. Kelvedon Road (11)
Kelvedon Road is progressive and knows how to find the line. Good profile for the race and solid chance.
7. Queen Of Wizadry (13)
Some hope and the booking of Pike is a good push. Tricky draw is the knock.
8. Sing A Love Song (14)
No jockey engaged as of yet. I’ve always been a fan of Sing A Love Song and its group 3 placing sees it go very close here. Certainly has a case but does have the get back run on running style which can be tricky to catch.
9. Cool Lad (8)
Back to 1400 looks like the right move for Cool Lad. Awkward draw but strong hope.
10. Peregrination (3)
Looks like a better chance than $101 but not in my top 4. Can win.
11. Son Of Sangio (18)
In flying form. Long odds but certainly has a chance. Barrier 18 doesn’t make things easy.
12. Super Helpful (16)
Can’t have.
13. Sweet Ruby (12)
Consistent and knows where the line is so certainly has a chance here.
14. Von Trapp (4)
I really like the chances of Von Trapp. Settles nicely from the good draw and prior runs certainly put it in contention here. It brings in the strongest form and we just need a fair track for it to run over the top of them. Outstanding chance.
15. Rocklily (15)
Great chance at odds. Tricky draw but if they can run on it will be steaming home late.
16. Prophet’s Pride (13)
Airborne with 2 wins in a row and lands in a good spot from the draw. Can win hut will need to run a career peak. In the mix but couldn’t find room for it in my top 4.
17. Extreme Gem (10)
Solid first-up run and the booking of Berry creates intrigue. Certainly in the mix.
18. Moon Stories (7)
Can’t have.
