Canterbury Park Racecourse is the destination for metro racing on Friday evening, with a quickfire seven-part program set for decision. The rail moves out +6m the entire circuit for the meeting, and with no rainfall expect in the region, punters are assured a genuine Good 4 surface throughout the night. The opening race is scheduled to get underway at 5:55pm AEDT.
Best Bet at Canterbury: Photograph
The James Cummings-trained Photograph returns after a 187-day spell and announced herself as a filly to follow at the end of last preparation. The daughter of Blue Point put together back-to-back wins before a luckless performance at Moonee Valley on August 24, storming down the centre of the course to miss by the narrowest of margins. Her recent barrier trial at Rosehill on February 18 suggests she’s returning in supreme order, and with James McDonald set to get the gun run from the inside draw (1), expect Photograph to return to winning ways in the Canterbury finale.
Best Bet
Race 7 – 
#4 Photograph (1)
3yo Filly | T: James Cummings | J: James McDonald (59kg)
Next Best at Canterbury: World Alliance
World Alliance was sensational first-up at Randwick on February 8, careering down the centre of the course to get within a length of Shezanalister. The five-year-old gelding drops back significantly in grade to BM78 company, and although he must lug 61kg on his back, the son of Rubick appears well placed as James McDonald gets legged aboard for the first time. Watch for McDonald to be positive drawn in barrier four, and provided he can sprint with the big weight second-up, expect World Alliance should justify favouritism with horse racing bookmakers.
Next Best
Race 6 – 
#1 World Alliance (4)
5yo Gelding | T: Matthew Smith | J: James McDonald (61kg)
Best Value at Canterbury: Tapa Kick
Tapa Kick got the head down where it mattered most at Randwick on February 15 despite being held up for a large portion of the straight. Zac Lloyd was able to navigate a passage on the inside running rail in the final furlong, however, had the son of Scissor Kick gotten clear air earlier, the margin would’ve been much greater. This BM64 must be considered his toughest test to date, and with Hurstville Zagreb and Leaders Listen likely to have good support, Tapa Kick should represent good value with Dabble.
Best Value
Race 2 – 
#2 Tapa Kick (6)
4yo Gelding | T: Paul Messara & Leah Gavranich | J: Braith Nock (a3kg) (61kg)
