6Blue Blood Prince

Our price $2.80 · SP $2.60 · Jason Collett

Blue Blood Prince is showing rapid improvement, finishing a close 2nd at Hawkesbury over 1600m just 6 days ago. With a good draw and top jockey Jason Collett aboard, he looks ready to break through for a maiden win stepping up to 1900m.

2nd pick4th
7Like Anything

Our price $3.50 · SP $4.60 · Dylan Gibbons

Like Anything brings solid form credentials, finishing 3rd last start at Wyong over 1600m. The Maurice filly gets significant weight relief with 54.5kg and has drawn perfectly in barrier 2. With Dylan Gibbons aboard and coming back from stronger company, she should be right in the finish. Her ability to handle all track conditions is another plus in her favor.

3rd pickWon
1Four Candles

Our price $4.50 · SP $5.50 · Tyler Schiller

Four Candles is showing clear improvement, finishing a close 2nd last start at Ballarat over 1600m. The Castelvecchio gelding is trained by the Hawkes team who are masters at placing their horses. While carrying top weight is a concern, his recent form suggests he's ready to break through. The step up to 1900m looks suitable based on his strong finishing efforts.

Value pick6th
5My Cartouche

Our price $6.00 · SP $10.00 · Winona Costin

My Cartouche represents excellent value having already placed 3rd over this track and distance last start. The American Pharoah mare has drawn perfectly in barrier 1 and drops significantly in class. The inside draw will be crucial on a track showing bias toward inside barriers.

4Royal Air Force

Our price $3.80 · SP $3.10 · Nash Rawiller

Royal Air Force brings the strongest recent form, finishing a close second at Canterbury last start over 1100m. The gear change to winkers first time could sharpen his focus, and the inside draw is ideal with Nash Rawiller aboard. Looks perfectly positioned to break through.

Winner5. MarethSP $3.30
★ Top pickWon
5Mareth

Our price $3.00 · SP $3.30 · Tommy Berry

Mareth brings the strongest form credentials, dropping significantly in class from Open company to a Maiden. Her second placing first-up at Pakenham shows ability, and the gear change (lugging bit off) suggests trainer confidence in improved manners. The inside draw suits, and Tommy Berry is a significant jockey booking. First-up from a spell but has placed when fresh previously.

2nd pick2nd
7Performance

Our price $4.50 · SP $2.70 · Rachel King

Performance represents the Gary Portelli stable which has another runner in the race (Capdiva). The booking of Rachel King is significant, and from barrier 1, should get every chance. While lacking race experience, the stable's decision to debut in metropolitan company suggests above-average ability. Likely to be on pace in a moderate-fast tempo which suits Canterbury's pattern.

3rd pick4th
1Artgirl

Our price $7.00 · SP $6.50 · Kerrin Mc Evoy

Artgirl brings solid form credentials with two third placings from two starts, including one at this track. The Chris Waller-trained filly has the benefit of race fitness, having run just 15 days ago. Kerrin McEvoy is a significant jockey booking. The wide barrier is a concern, but her consistent form and experience at the track give her strong claims.

Value pick3rd
10Capdiva

Our price $26.00 · SP $18.00

Coming off a recent run just 10 days ago provides a fitness edge, and the Gary Portelli stable knows how to prepare a winner.

Winner8. Columbia BlueSP $3.30
★ Top pickWon
8Columbia Blue

Our price $3.50 · SP $3.30 · Mitch Stapleford

Lightly-raced gelding who was impressive winning first-up at Wyong, showing good tactical speed and a strong finish. Has a perfect second-up record and should appreciate the soft track conditions. The class rise is offset by his progressive profile and weight advantage. Looks to have more upside than most rivals and should get a nice run from barrier 11 with Stapleford aboard.

2nd pick6th
7Shelstein

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.40 · Nash Rawiller

Talented gelding with an excellent first-up record who has been racing consistently in Queensland. His last start 3rd at Eagle Farm was solid and his two previous wins were impressive. Handles soft tracks well and gets the services of Nash Rawiller. The class rise is a query but his first-up prowess and natural ability should see him competitive.

3rd pick9th
2Cassiel

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.20 · Tommy Berry

Consistent gelding who won at this track and distance previously. His first-up run was below expectations but should improve second-up where he has a solid record. Will likely push forward from barrier 4 and should handle the soft track. The weight is a concern but Tommy Berry is a positive booking. Has the class to feature.

Value pick8th
3Extravagent Lad

Our price $8.00 · SP $14.00 · Jason Collett

Experienced gelding who ran a close second at this track last start in a BM78. Gets in well with a significant class drop to BM72 despite carrying topweight.

7Happiness

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.00 · Nash Rawiller

Happiness brings strong recent form after a close 2nd over this track and distance last start. The 4YO gelding is improving with each run and should appreciate the moderate-fast tempo. While stepping up in class, he's shown progressive staying ability and gets the services of Nash Rawiller.

2nd pick10th
2Oakfield Wallaby

Our price $4.50 · SP $4.80 · Tommy Berry

Oakfield Wallaby brings strong credentials with excellent soft track form (3 wins from 6 starts). The mare has been racing consistently with placings in quality races and gets the services of Tommy Berry. While carrying top weight is a concern, she's proven at this level and should handle the conditions well. Her recent 4th at this track and distance gives a solid form reference.

3rd pick6th
1Let's Fly

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.80 · Braith Nock

Let's Fly brings solid consistent form with a 2nd and 3rd in her last two starts. The mare is versatile across track conditions with wins on good, soft and heavy tracks. While unproven at this distance, her racing pattern suggests she'll handle it, and she's likely to be on-pace which suits the track bias. The Freedman stable is in good form and she gets the services of Braith Nock.

Value pick4th
12Old Gregg

Our price $8.00 · SP $9.50 · Tyler Schiller

Ellipsis brings a perfect first-up record (2 from 2) and has won at Canterbury previously. Her form last preparation was excellent with a win and placing in similar company. The moderate-fast tempo should suit her racing pattern, and she drops 4kg from her last start. Dylan Gibbons is a strong booking and the mare has proven adaptable across track conditions.

2nd pickWon
8Caffe Florian

Our price $4.20 · SP $2.15 · Jason Collett

Caffe Florian is a progressive 3YO filly who has won at Canterbury and is coming off a last-start maiden win at this track and distance. While she faces a significant class rise, she gets weight relief as a 3YO and has drawn perfectly in barrier 2.

3rd pick3rd
3Couples Retreat

Our price $5.00 · SP $3.90 · Zac Lloyd

Zac Lloyd retains the ride after two placings at their last two outings. The mare is proven at this class level but carries top weight and has drawn barrier 1, which may be disadvantageous given the track bias. Her soft track record is moderate with 0-1-1 from 4 starts.

Value pick7th
13Hazel Jean

Our price $12.00 · SP $15.00 · Tom Sherry

The mare gets in with just 54kg and has Tom Sherry aboard, which is a quality booking. While she faces a class rise and has drawn wide in barrier 13, the moderate-fast tempo should suit her racing pattern and she's shown ability on soft tracks (0-1-1 from 4).

5Verbil

Our price $3.80 · SP $4.60 · Braith Nock

Verbil brings the strongest recent form into this race with a win at this track and distance just two weeks ago. Has an excellent record at Canterbury (1 win from 2 starts) and is proven on soft tracks. Perfectly drawn in barrier 5 to get an ideal midfield position in a moderately fast-paced race. The class rise is offset by his progressive profile and weight advantage over the topweights.

2nd pick4th
4High Blue Sea

Our price $6.00 · SP $4.20 · Nash Rawiller

Has been racing consistently without winning and gets a slight class drop here. The engagement of Nash Rawiller is significant, but the soft track is a genuine concern with no wins from 10 starts on soft going. Barrier 8 means he'll likely settle midfield to back.

3rd pickWon
9Bravissima

Our price $7.00 · SP $5.00 · Dylan Gibbons

Bravissima brings strong recent form including a win in BM78 grade at Randwick. Has excellent soft track credentials with 2 wins from 4 starts and gets in with just 55.5kg. The inside draw should allow her to take up a forward position from barrier 2. While she's rising in class from provincial racing, her metropolitan win last start suggests she can measure up here.

Value pick6th
8Forecaster

Our price $7.50 · SP $6.50 · Adam Hyeronimus

Forecaster represents excellent value after winning at this track and distance just 15 days ago. Has an outstanding record at Canterbury with 2 wins and a second from 3 starts. Adam Hyeronimus retains the ride and from barrier 6 should get a perfect midfield position.

Our price $4.20 · SP $5.00 · Zac Lloyd

Miss Spacegirl brings the strongest credentials with a last-start win at this track and distance. Her soft track record is excellent (4:2-1-1), and she's proven second-up with two placings from two attempts. The moderate-fast tempo should suit her midfield running style.

2nd pick3rd
6Gunroom

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.00 · Mitch Stapleford

Gunroom brings strong credentials with an excellent record at this distance (4:2-1-0) and on soft tracks (4:1-2-0). While facing a class rise, he's well-weighted and drawn ideally in barrier 7 to take advantage of the likely moderate-fast tempo. His consistency is a major asset.

3rd pickWon
11Mother Goose

Our price $6.00 · SP $5.00 · Tommy Berry

Mother Goose brings solid credentials with a strong soft track record (2:1-0-1) and consistent recent form. She gets in light with just 54kg and has the services of Tommy Berry from a good barrier. The class rise is the main concern, but her lightweight advantage could offset this.

Value pick7th
4Wallenda

Our price $7.00 · SP $8.00 · Braith Nock

While the wide barrier and top weight are concerns, his experience and class should allow him to overcome these obstacles. His recent third at Canterbury indicates he's ready to fire second-up.
