Excellent acceptance and expect most of the fields to stand up. The Action raced truly two weeks ago, with horses winning from all over.
The $40,000 Federal has again drawn a strong and competitive field.
Race 1
The Acton synthetic raced true as expected, and a number of favourites won on the day. Riding honours went to Simon Miller who recorded a hat-trick.

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.

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.

Canberra Racing Review Wednesday 8 May 2019
They raced on a soft seven and the rail chopped out. Back and wide was the place to be.
Having said that, there was only one blow-out (Le Cavalier) in the Federal, with five well supported gallopers winning on the day.

They raced on a soft 5 and the track played very fair. Four favourites won on the day. Trainer John Bateman and jockey Blaike McDougall linked for two winners.
Race 1: XXX Gold BM 65 1300m
The rail is in the true position and the track should present in good order with fine weather forecast beyond race day.
Most of the fields are very competitive and the return of two promising Nick Olive gallopers in the Federal create interest.
Race 1: XXX Gold Bm65 1300m
They raced on a soft 5 and it was a very competitive days racing.
The $40,000 Federal saw a blow-out result with Friskee One saluting at $41.0 setting up a trifecta in excess of $4.000.
XXXX GOLD BENCHMARK 55 HANDICAP (1400 METRES)
PRINCE JACKO ($3.80) was the one punters came to on track and he duly obliged for the Dryden-Collings training partnership with Blaike McDougall in the saddle. Prince Jacko led has he liked at a steady gallop tailed by FISCAL POLICY ($4.20) and he showed plenty of grit to hold that galloper off.
