Metro racing returns to the bright lights of Canterbury Park Racecourse on Friday evening, with a competitive eight-part program set for decision. The rail moves out +4m the entire circuit, and with sunny skies predicted on race-day punters can expect the track to firming from the current Soft 5 rating. All the action is scheduled to get underway at 6pm local time.
Best Bet at Canterbury: Madame Instrife
Madam Instrife beat home all but one returning at Newcastle on December 7 and appears set to peak second-up. The daughter of Russian Revolution attempted to make every post a winner on that occasion, only being headed in the shadows of the post by a promising filly, Magical Moments. Tyler Schiller will likely adopt similar tactics drawn in barrier four, and provided he can tick over a soft sectional in the middle stages, expect Madam Instrife to extend clear when asked for the ultimate effort.
Best Bet
Race 2 – 
#7 Madame Instrife (4)
4yo Mare | T: Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes | J: Tyler Schiller (57kg)

Next Best at Canterbury: Endure
The Chris Waller-trained Endure caught the eye debuting at Newcastle on December 1, closing to within a half-length of Burj in a highly competitive maiden contest. The Yes Yes Yes filly was the only one cutting into the margin, suggesting the quinella pair may have plenty of upside as the preparation goes on. Tommy Berry will need to navigate a passage from barrier eight, but with even luck, Endure should have no issues despatching this lot and justifying favouritism with BlondeBet.

Race 1 – 
#4 Endure (8)

Best Value at Canterbury: Salisano
Salisano returns after 208-day spell and will be looking to improve after an unsatisfactory campaign. The daughter of Shalaa was unplaced in her last two starts before being sent to the paddock, however, looks to be returning in supreme order after securing a barrier trial victory at Newcastle on December 4. Braith Nock gets legged aboard from the awkward draw (10), and provided he can get an ounce of luck when trying to circle the field, Salisano should give followers a bold sight at an each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 7 – 
#4 Salisano (10)
5yo Mare | T: Nathan Doyle | J: Braith Nock (a3kg) (60.5kg)
