Canterbury tips and results

Our price $3.60 · SP $3.60 · Tyler Schiller

The class runner of the field. Two autumn seconds at Randwick in two-year-old handicap company, beaten a nose and two lengths, read far stronger than what his rivals bring out of maidens. He has trialled well since, draws to get the perfect smother behind the speed, and the first-time cross-over nose band should help him settle. Stable and jockey are in form.

Our price $8.00 · SP $13.00 · Brodie Loy

The only runner with recent race fitness and the only true speed in the field, which on this tight Canterbury circuit is a major asset. He led and was only collared late at Hawkesbury, a run good enough to win a race like this, and a moderate tempo should let him dictate terms. The queries are the step to 1100m and whether he can hold off the challengers, but he maps ideally.

Our price $14.00 · SP $26.00 · Jason Collett

A Waller filly by Snitzel out of Group 1 winner Global Glamour, she showed real ability on debut when third in a stronger Randwick maiden, keeping on well under pressure. She is second-up now with two trials under her belt and draws the inside gate, dropping back to 1100m.

Our price $5.50 · SP $4.00 · Zac Lloyd

Led and was only grabbed late on debut at Kembla Grange, sticking on for third after racing keen and laying out in the straight. Drawn the inside alley here with the early speed to lead, and Canterbury is a track where the front-runners hold a clear edge. Zac Lloyd is riding in great form and has a strong record for this stable. The one most likely to take it up and give a sight.

Our price $4.00 · SP $4.00 · James McDonald

Drawn well and keeps McDonald aboard. The obvious knocks are that he has only one win from eight and closers are generally up against it at Canterbury, so he is worth taking on at the shorts rather than dismissing.

Our price $5.50 · SP $8.50 · Tommy Berry

Mr Consistent without winning. Placed at his last three, including a third over this track and trip, and closed hard last time over 1800m after being held up in the straight. Waller-trained and well drawn. He finds one or two better more often than not, but he is a reliable placegetter at this level and should be in the finish again.

Our price $14.00 · SP $17.00 · Claire Ramsbotham

Drops to the minimum and gets a weight claim, so she carries next to nothing over a trip, and she ran on well for third last start having been placed over this track and distance. The recent pattern here has favoured closers, which helps her case.

Our price $7.50 · SP $3.90 · Tommy Berry

Reliable on-pace gelding who ran second here over this trip in a similar race two starts back before finding stronger Randwick company too good. He settles handy, which is exactly the profile that gets rewarded at Canterbury, and this is a drop in class. He doesn't win out of turn, but he is a strong place hope and a live chance if the leaders overdo it.

Our price $10.00 · SP $6.50 · Chad Schofield

He won nicely at Canterbury two runs back over 1100m and is a genuine on-pace type, the sort this track favours. His flop here last start came on a wet track; back on Good ground he is a different horse.

Our price $19.00 · SP $26.00 · Jason Collett

Our price $12.00 · SP $17.00 · Regan Bayliss

A lightly-raced mare who has the most talent in this field at her best. Her recent runs were run to a winning standard and she is a genuine on-pace type, which is exactly what Canterbury rewards. She won a recent trial and returns fresh, but there are queries: just one win from seven, no wins on good ground, and three placings without a win over this trip.

Our price $5.00 · SP $4.60 · Regan Bayliss

Comes out of the strongest last-start run in the race, finishing hard for second after being held up at a vital stage. He is second-up today, a stage at which he has placed, and he has already placed at this trip at Canterbury. The concern is barrier 13, though the mile start gives him room to work into a forward spot, and his stable's fresh runners tend to be ready.

Our price $12.00 · SP $51.00 · Alysha Collett

Big each-way value. He drops out of stronger company, having run a close second in a tougher grade last start after a solid fourth before that. He is an improving type with a decent record on good ground, and a midfield draw should see him settle within striking distance rather than giving away a big start.
