Four favourites won on the day and another just went under to a well-supported second favourite. There was one genuine upset with Casino Time winning the 2yo Handicap with $140 available round the traps. Unlike at the last meeting, the inside played well. Nick Heywood and Chad Lever both rode doubles.

Competitive field all day and the $40,000 Federal has again attracted a raft of genuine chances. It was tough to win from the inside at the last meeting and no surprise if the club has that rectified.
Nick Olive backs up two dominant winners from the last meeting: Successful Day in Race 3 and Contaminated in Race 4, and their runs will create plenty of interest.
Race 1
Simon Miller continued a good run of form riding a double, as did Brendan Ward. Nick Olive trained a double. The track advantaged horses racing away from the inside.

Canberra Racing Preview Friday 7 June 2019
With winter upon us, Canberra racing returns to the Acton synthetic surface. Since its refurbishment, the synthetic has raced fairly, enabling punters to wager with confidence.
Race 1
The track was rated a Soft 6 and was downgraded early to a Soft 8. The section between the 400m and 550 metres was rated a Heavy 8. The rail was out 8m the entirety, but those racing close to the fence were still disadvantaged.
Race 1
Canberra Racing Preview Friday 24 May 2019
Fine weather is forecast through to race day and the track will likely be just on the soft side. The Rail is out 8m the entire circuit.
The club will be happy with acceptances; with large competitive fields the order of the day.
