Metro racing returns to Canterbury Park Racecourse on Wednesday afternoon, with a quickfire seven-part program set for decision. The rail is out +3m for the entire circuit, and although the track was rated a Soft 7 at the time of acceptances, the sunny forecast for Monday and Tuesday should result in an upgrade into the Good range prior to the opening event at 1:25pm local time. Below are our Canterbury racing tips for Wednesday, August 7.
Best Bet at Canterbury: Zeitung
Zeitung was sent to the paddock on the back of a dominant win at Kembla Grange on April 9. The daughter of Exceed And Excel broke her maiden by 3.5 lengths in the process, careering away with the prize under her own steam. She won a barrier trial at Rosehill on July 23 leading into this first-up assignment, and provided James McDonald can lob into the one-one from barrier four, Zeitung should prove too classy for this lot.

Next Best at Canterbury: After Match
After Match couldn’t have been more impressive when breaking his maiden on debut at Hawkesbury on July 21. The Peter Snowden-trained colt only put away a small field of four on that occasion, but he showed a blistering turn of foot in the final furlong to win by 3.5 lengths. Barrier 11 isn’t ideal, but as long as he doesn’t use up too much energy finding a nice spot, expect After Match to give a kick turning for home.

Best Value at Canterbury: Behaviour
Although he ran last of seven in his most recent jump-out at Rosehill on July 23, Behaviour appears ready for a first-up assault. The son of I Am Invincible was beaten by 4.7 lengths on that occasion, but he never got clear running in the final 400m. Barrier one should allow James McDonald to take closer order throughout the 1200m, and as long as he doesn’t fall into the ‘Canterbury Coffin’ from the inside draw, Behaviour should be right in this.

#10 Behaviour (1)
