Metro racing returns to the bright lights of Canterbury Park Racecourse on Friday evening, with a massive eight-part program set for decision. The rails reverts to the true position the entire circuit, and while the track rated a Soft 5 at the time of acceptances, sunny skies forecast in the lead-up should allow an upgrade into the Good range prior to the opening event at 6pm local time.
Best Bet at Canterbury: Sounds Unusual
Sounds Unusual producing a promising debut at Newcastle on December 1, charging through the line over 1500m. The son of Unusual Suspect was only getting warm in the final furlong, suggesting the immediate step up in trip should be ideal heading into this second-up assignment. The booking of Nash Rawiller shows intent from the stable, and with gate five allowing the pair to produce a sweeping run turning for home, Sounds Unusual appears poised to go one better.

#3 Sounds Unusual (5)

Next Best at Canterbury: Husk
Husk returns after a 152-day spell and brings some quality form-lines to this BM72 contest. The three-year-old filly finished alongside Manolo Bling at the end of last preparation, who would go on to frank the form in the spring, closing on the heels of Belatrix Star in the Listed Cap D’antibes Stakes (1100m) at Flemington. Her trial suggests she’s returning in supreme order, and with barrier two allowing Tyler Schiller to land in the one-one, Husk appears primed to make a first-up statement at a good price with BlondeBet.
Next Best
Race 5 – 
#8 Husk (2)
3yo Filly | T: Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes | J: Tyler Schiller (56.5kg)

Best Value at Canterbury: Goodlucktome
The Ciaron Maher-trained Goodlucktome has undergone a gelding operation during his 152-day spell, and based on his recent trial, it may have done the trick. The son of Written Tycoon looked to be trucking in behind a wall of horses at Hawkesbury on November 14, leaving punters with the impressive there was plenty left to give in the concluding stages. Barrier eight could be tricky to overcome, but provided Jason Collett can find some cover, Goodlucktome appears primed to break his maiden status.
Best Value
Race 2 – 
#2 Goodlucktome (8)
3yo Gelding | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Jason Collett (57.5kg)
