2Lorax

Our price $2.90 · SP $2.20 · James Mc Donald

The most complete package on recency and class. Waller and McDonald engage from a workable gate 5 on a track where being handy by the 400m is decisive.

2nd pick3rd
1Threads

Our price $4.40 · SP $6.50 · Sam Clipperton

The offsets are real: 59.5kg topweight, a flat fourth at Kensington last start and a rider without a strong Canterbury record. Each-way is the sensible expression of a horse whose ceiling exceeds the field but whose finishing has been unreliable.

1Wanda's Spark

Our price $2.70 · SP $2.70 · Tommy Berry

The one runner in this field with a recent, fit, city-standard formline. Rivals are largely first-up or debut runners.

2nd pick3rd
2Sing Your Song

Our price $3.40 · SP $2.60 · James Mc Donald

She holds the strongest connections in the race and placed on her only first-up run. Talented enough to win but the map and freshness make her a safer place proposition.

3rd pick2nd
3Affari

Our price $8.50 · SP $13.00 · Sam Clipperton

The only runner here with black-type experience, having finished fifth in a Listed race at Eagle Farm before a spell. She has already handled this track, finishing third over 1100m in February, and placed on her previous first-up assignment. Barrier 5 lets her take a forward position on a circuit where that matters most.

Value pick4th
13Yvonne's Joy

Our price $9.00 · SP $18.00 · Kerrin Mc Evoy

She has the best barrier in the field, drops out of Open and Group company into a maiden, and carries a rider in good touch who has partnered her before.

1Cheval De Bois

Our price $3.20 · SP $1.50 · Braith Nock

The most credible form line in the race. Barrier 2 is ideal on a tight Canterbury circuit where being top-three at the 400m wins ~21% of the time, and the slow projected tempo suits a horse who can take a sit just off the speed. The 60kg and step to 1900m are genuine queries but the class relief more than covers them.

2nd pick2nd
11Kumbaya

Our price $5.50 · SP $5.00 · James Mc Donald

She was also runner-up over this exact course and distance in January. McDonald's booking is a strong intent signal from Waller and he is the leading rider at Canterbury with 22%. The concern is the map - she profiles as a backmarker on a track where closers struggle and the tempo projects slow.

999th pickScratched
3Sister Daae

Our price $5.00 · Tommy Berry

Barrier 1 is a genuine asset here given the track's positional bias. The problem is conversion - one win from 18 starts, and her Good-track record reads 7:0-0-2 with no wins. Add an unproven 1900m and 59.5kg and she profiles more as a place chance than a winner.

2Oakfield Neptune

Our price $4.00 · SP $3.50 · James Mc Donald

The most complete profile in the race. The Randwick failure came from gate 7 at a metro level she was first-time exposed to; from barrier 2 with McDonald aboard she maps to control the tempo, which is exactly the winning shape at Canterbury. Unproven on Good is the only genuine query, and it is one no rival can exploit with superior credentials.

2nd pick3rd
4Kakadu Sunset

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.00 · Tim Clark

The one runner in the field who has won at Canterbury over 1250m, and her first up numbers - 3 starts, 1 win, 2 placings - remove the fitness doubt after 136 days.

999th pickScratched
11Kwirky Smile

Our price $4.60 · Rachel King

She is the type of lightly raced, in-form mare that wins here. The barrier is the problem: gate 13 on a tight circuit with a short straight forces King into either an expensive cross or a spot further back than Canterbury tolerates.

Value pick10th
1Cando Attitude

Our price $9.00 · SP $15.00 · Claire Ramsbotham

Four wins from six starts, unbeaten in three good-track runs and 2 from 2 first up, with a Listed second at Canberra confirming she can handle better than this grade. Barrier 8 and no distance form justify each-way rather than win.

8Capture Me

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.35 · Chad Schofield

Barrier 2 gives Schofield the option to take a prominent spot, which is the dominant winning pattern at Canterbury where top-three at the 400m wins about 21%. Class rise is the query, but trajectory and map outweigh it.

2nd pick2nd
2Monte Veebee

Our price $5.50 · SP $7.00 · Grant Buckley

First up he is 4 starts for 1 win and 2 placings, so the freshener is not a barrier, and gate 4 lets Buckley take up the handy position that wins races at Canterbury. Conversion is the only genuine worry.

3rd pick4th
3Rivendell

Our price $7.00 · SP $6.50 · Tom Sherry

Rivendell is a lightly raced 4yo who has won both his first-up starts, and Snowden freshening him for 139 days points at a targeted return.

6Heuristic

1Inoue

Our price $3.20 · SP $2.60 · James Mc Donald

Inoue won the equivalent BM72 at Canterbury over 1100m last start and returns second up, the phase where the record reads 3 starts for 2 wins and 1 placing. Track and distance form is a win from 2 starts and the distance record is 8:2-2-0. Barrier 5 gives James McDonald the option to take a handy position, which is the dominant Canterbury prior — top three at the 400m wins about 21%. The 60kg top weight is the genuine query, but the form and positional case is the strongest in the race.

2nd pick2nd
3Zale

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.00 · Winona Costin

Zale was runner-up to Inoue in the identical Canterbury 1100m BM72 last start and won at the trip at Warwick Farm the run before. His track and distance record is 2 starts for 2 placings and his distance record is 7:1-4-0. Barrier 4 with Costin, who has been aboard for six of his last seven, maps him into the top-three-at-the-400m band that wins about 21% here.

3rd pick5th
5Miss Trentino

Our price $4.50 · SP $3.20 · Tommy Berry

Miss Trentino won this exact race last September, a Canterbury 1100m BM72, and her distance record is 3 starts for 2 wins and a placing. Barrier 1 with Tommy Berry gives her the perfect map on a track where settling 1-3 wins about 22%. Against that, she has been off the scene 328 days, her first-up record is 2 starts for no wins, and a first-time tongue tie has been added.

Value pick8th
7Shalaa Gold

Our price $5.00 · SP $13.00 · Tim Clark

He is a Canterbury 1100m specialist with 5 starts there for a win and two thirds, including a BM72 victory over this course and distance. With four genuine leaders forecast to set a very fast tempo, a horse who can sit just off them and sprint is well placed.

3Barking Mad

Our price $3.00 · SP $2.00 · James Mc Donald

Barrier 1 and McDonald let him take the on-pace spot Canterbury demands, where top-three at the 400m wins roughly 21%. Lack of a Good-track win is the only genuine query.

2nd pick7th
5Forecaster

Our price $6.50 · SP $6.00 · William A Stanley

The proven track-and-distance runner in the race, with a win and a placing from three attempts at Canterbury over 1550m. His last start second at Randwick-Kensington over this identical trip in the same BM72 grade is form that reads straight through, and he does it off the lightest weight among the chances.

3rd pick4th
2Anthracite

Our price $5.50 · SP $3.30 · Adam Hyeronimus

A lightly raced type with a 43% strike rate who returned with a solid third at Randwick-Kensington behind BM72 company first up. Second up he is 1 win from 2 starts, and the rise to 1550m suits a gelding whose maiden and Class 2 wins came at 1600m. Barrier 3 with Hyeronimus, 20% for Pride, gives him the handy position Canterbury demands.

Value pick2nd
9Three Arrows

Our price $6.00 · SP $8.50 · Tommy Berry

The value proposition of the race. He drops a full 3.5kg today, draws barrier 4, and gets Tommy Berry — a package that maps to the forward position Canterbury demands.
