Public Holiday racing returns to Canterbury Park on Monday afternoon, with a competitive eight-part program set for decision. The rail reverts to the true position the entire circuit, and although there is some rainfall forecast on race-day, hopefully it can keep the surface rated somewhere in the Soft range throughout proceedings. The opening event is scheduled to commence at 12:50pm local time.
Best Bet at Canterbury: Full Hao
Full Hao was impressive breaking her maiden at Hawkesbury on April 9, cutting along the inside running rail to score by two lengths eased down on the wire. The daughter of Castelvecchio was only getting better at the end of 1600m, and although this BM64 contest possesses much more depth on paper, the lightly raced three-year-old should be suited to stepping out to the 1900m for the first time. James McDonald takes the reins from an awkward draw (10), but provided he can slot in for cover, watch for Full Hao to be flashing over the top to secure back-to-back wins.

Race 6 – 
#6 Full Hao (10)

Next Best at Canterbury: Apex
Apex returns after a 107-day spell and brings some exceptional form lines to this BM64 contest. The son of Exceedance was beaten by less than a half-length by Dance To The Boom towards the end of last preparation and was gallant in defeat behind With Your Blesssings at Randwick on January 1 before being sent to the paddock. His barrier trial on April 11 suggests he’s returning in supreme order, and with Nash Rawiller set to gain the gun run from stall two, Apex should justify the $2.60 with .

Race 4 – 
#2 Apex (2)

Next Best Again at Canterbury: Silver Wedding
Silver Wedding has shown plenty of promise across her three career starts, with her latest effort behind Aeliana in the Group 3 Reginald Allen Quality (1400m) jumping off the page. She was well held on that occasion, but it does give a strong opinion of what the Ciaron Maher camp thought of her potential last preparation. She returns after a strong barrier trial at Warwick Farm on April 7, and with an element of class against some key opposition, punters should be willing to lean in her favour at the current price with horse racing bookmakers.

#11 Silver Wedding (7)
