Horse Racing tips from Michael Gannon
He head to Canberra on Monday afternoon for Canberra Cup Day.
There are two feature races today, including the Listed Cup over 2000m and the Listed Canberra Guineas over 1400m for the three-year-old's.
The rail is out 3m for the entire circuit and the track is rated a Good 4.
Canberra Race 5 Tip #13 Miss Mcgregor $7.50
This looks a genuine two horse race and this Jason Coyle trained galloper represents the value.
She produced a solid run on debut, before running well above expectations second-up.
After jumping from barrier 12, she was caught wide throughout the trip but showed great fight to flash home into 3rd.
She finds a race today with plenty of speed engaged, which sets up well for her racing style.
She holds the fitness edge over the favourite and with two runs at the 1000m, she'll be the strongest late.
Canberra Race 7 Tip #1 Hush Writer $8.50
The Waterhouse & Bott stable hold the key to this race, with two runners well in the market who will race on-pace.
Entente is the top rated runner, but from barrier 14 he'll need a perfect ride from Tim Clark in the early stages to be competitive late.
Given the favourite's poor draw, I'm leaning towards stablemate Hush Writer who promised the world before his Australian debut and has delivered somewhat mixed results for connections.
The one thing we do know, is that he's a Group 3 winner who relishes dry track conditions and can produce a strong first-up run.
From barrier 3, Nash Rawiller will go forward and attempt to make every post a winner.
First-up over 2000m is a query, but this stable always have their runners up and about first-up.
Rawiller can control the tempo up front and that unfolds, expect Hush Writer to make every post a winner and salute at good odds.
