The New Year of racing is set to get underway at Canterbury on Monday afternoon as they get set to host a bumper eight-race program, headlined by the $200,000 Listed Canterbury Sprint (1200m). The rail is in the true position the entire circuit, and with improving conditions forecast in the lead-up, the course should firm into the Good range prior to the opening event at 2:40pm AEDT.
Canterbury Sprint Top Tip: Zou Tiger
There’s speed drawn across the map in the Listed Canterbury Sprint (1200m), hopefully allowing a returning Zou Tiger to finish off best. The son of Zoustar returns after a 219-day spell and a gelding operation, with the John O’Shea barn targeting a strong race first-up. He’s only had one trial prior to this event, however, with Tommy Berry taking the sit aboard the four-year-old, it gives us confidence the four-year-old is ready to go, so expect a bold showing from this multiple Group 1 placed galloper.

Best Bet at Canterbury: Fickle
On the back of two strong barrier trials, Fickle makes her debut for the Peter & Paul Snowden barn and looks prepared for a first-up assault. The filly by I Am Invincible travelled beautifully for Zac Lloyd in a recent jump-out at Randwick on November 20, trucking between runners to score by 1.7 lengths. She oozes quality, and provided Fickle can bring some of that quality to race-day, we’re confident she can only run well on Monday.

Next Best at Canterbury: Suit Of Armour
Suit Of Armour tackled Class 1 company last start Kembla Grange and wasn’t disgraced when powering home behind Genetic Freak on December 14. He drops back to the 1900m on Monday and should relish the opportunity to get back into restricted maiden class. The son of Camelot appears to have plenty of upside compared to some of his key rivals, and with this only his fourth-career start, Suit Of Armour seems to be a stayer on the rise.
