AU - Canberra - Race 1

The lightly-raced BRUTAL BELLE (3) resumes and has switched to the in-form Pepper yard from the Buchanan stable in Wyong. She's placed fresh and has pieces of form that would see her right in the finish. Has a 4lbs claim and the winkers on for the first time, and no surprise if she comes back further improved. The speedy SOUK (1) has the standout form and he will again be heavily bet. He's been given every chance but has been proving post shy. That may all change today. YOUR MAGIC (2) was in the market on debut but dropped out from the speed. Resumes today drawn low and Loy's booking suggests he's pleasing. RACY TIME (9) is down from Hawkesbury and is likely to show more. Has a low barrier and 4lbs claim and the extra gear comes off.
