Canterbury tips and results

Our price $2.20 · SP $2.90 · Tommy Berry

First starter from the Michael Freedman stable with Tommy Berry engaged. Drawn perfectly in barrier 4 to get a good position in midfield, which should be advantageous with the predicted very fast tempo. The gear application (ear muffs pre-race only) suggests connections are managing the horse's temperament for debut.

Our price $4.00 · SP $7.00 · Mitch Stapleford

Lightly-raced improver with consistent form, having placed in both career starts. Has drawn perfectly in barrier 3 and carries just 54.5kg. The Good 4 surface suits based on previous performance, and the 1200m should be ideal. Shows a clear upward trajectory in form.

Our price $5.00 · SP $13.00 · Zac Lloyd

Returns from a lengthy spell for champion trainer Chris Waller with multiple gear changes including being gelded. The stable has engaged Zac Lloyd which is significant. Likely to be prominent in the early stages and could take advantage of the fast tempo predicted.

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.80 · Tommy Berry

Precise Star has been knocking on the door with consistent form including placings in similar company. Tommy Berry is a significant jockey booking, and the gelding has shown versatility across different track conditions. The step up to 1900m looks suitable based on his racing pattern.

Our price $12.00 · SP $21.00 · Adam Farragher

Royal Princess brings solid recent form with consecutive 3rd placings over 1600m, suggesting the step up to 1900m will suit. Gets in well at the weights with 54.5kg and draws favorably in barrier 4. Adam Farragher takes the ride for the Maher stable.

Our price $35.00 · SP $61.00 · Kerrin Mc Evoy

The step up to 1900m looks ideal based on his breeding and racing pattern. The booking of Kerrin McEvoy is significant, and coming from the Waller stable adds further confidence.

Our price $3.80 · SP $4.80 · Siena Grima

The filly gets weight relief with Siena Grima's 3kg claim and is drawn perfectly in barrier 6 to settle on-pace.

Our price $8.00 · SP $7.50 · Jason Collett

In Limbo represents significant value as a class dropper from Group 3 and Open company races. With Jason Collett aboard from a good draw, she should get a nice midfield position. Her heavy track form (2:0-0-1) is a bonus if conditions deteriorate.

Our price $12.00 · SP $17.00 · Chad Schofield

The addition of blinkers for the first time is a significant gear change that could spark improvement. With Chad Schofield retaining the ride and her ability to run on strongly, she's well-positioned to benefit from the predicted very fast tempo.

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.00 · Regan Bayliss

While first-up from a lengthy spell, her fresh record is solid and she's shown ability on soft tracks (1 win, 1 placing from 2 starts). The fast tempo should suit her running style, and Regan Bayliss is a positive jockey booking.

Our price $9.00 · SP $4.00 · Tom Sherry

While facing a significant class rise, she's well-weighted with 55kg and Tom Sherry is a positive jockey booking. The fast tempo should suit her running style, and she's shown ability on soft tracks.

Our price $3.20 · SP $4.00 · Jason Collett

Michelangelo brings strong form credentials dropping back from Group racing to a BM64. The C.J. Waller-Jason Collett combination adds confidence, and the likely fast tempo should suit his racing pattern. Looks well placed to continue his progression.

Our price $21.00 · SP $41.00 · Andrew Calder

The C.E. Conners-trained gelding is dropping in class and has shown ability at metropolitan level before.

Our price $2.40 · SP $2.20 · Anna Roper

Cassiel brings strong credentials as a first-up specialist with an excellent barrier draw. His record of 3-3-1 from 12 starts shows consistency, and he's proven at Canterbury with a win from three attempts.

Our price $7.00 · SP $19.00 · Tom Sherry

He's proven at Canterbury with a win from 7 starts and specifically at this track and distance combination (1-0-1 from 5 starts). The significant class drop from recent racing is a major positive, though his preference for wet tracks is noted.

Our price $7.00 · SP $4.60 · Adam Farragher

Consistent gelding with strong recent form, finishing a close third last start at Wyong. The class rise is significant but he appears to have the talent to be competitive at this level.

Our price $6.00 · SP $2.60 · Ashley Morgan

Has a solid record on good tracks (7:1-0-3) and draws well in barrier 3. The class rise is significant but he appears to be improving and should be suited by the likely fast tempo. Limited win record is a concern.
