Canterbury Park Racecourse is the destination for metro racing on Friday evening, with a competitive eight-part program set to take place under lights. The rail moves out +2m the entire circuit, and with more rainfall predicted to hit the course proper on Thursday, punters can expect a genuine Soft to Heavy surface come Friday night. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 6pm local time.
Best Bet at Canterbury: Island Dec
Island Dec returns after a 100-day spell and appears set to strike in this first-up assignment. The daughter of Kermadec stormed through the line under a stranglehold in a recent barrier trial at Kembla Grange on January 30 to suggest she is nearing her peak, and with her form from last preparation jumping off the page, this BM64 contest looks like ideal placement by the Robert & Luke Price barn. Regan Baylis should land into a mid-field position with cover throughout the journey, and with Island Dec undefeated first-up in the past, punters can expect that trend to continue.
Best Bet
Race 1 – 
#1 Island Dec (6)
3yo Filly | T: Robert & Luke Price | J: Regan Bayliss (60kg)
Next Best at Canterbury: Automne Tree
There were no excuses for Automne Tree at Warwick Farm on January 21, with The Autumn Sun gelding finding one better in the form of Railway Man. The pair cleared out by 1.5 lengths on their remaining rivals to fight out the finish, with Automne Tree being headed in the shadows of the post. The Chris Waller-trained gelding appears set to peak third-up into the campaign, and with James McDonald electing to stick aboard this untapped galloper, Automne Tree gets one more chance to repay the faith and justify the short price with horse racing bookmakers.
Next Best
Race 2 – 
#1 Automne Tree (6)
3yo Gelding | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (59kg)
Best Value at Canterbury: Weeping Woman
The Joe Pride-trained Weeping Woman got a pass mark returning at Warwick Farm on January 27, hitting the line well despite being first-up after a 17-week spell. The daughter of Lonhro was well-supported with Picklebet on that occasion, doing her best work late after settling worse than mid-field in the middle stages of the race. Stepping up to the 1100m second-up should be ideal, and with Tyler Schiller likely to stalk his rivals from gate six, watch for Weeping Woman to be one of the last ones mounting a challenge down the centre of the course.
Best Value
Race 6 – 
#11 Weeping Woman (6)
4yo Mare | T: Joseph Pride | J: Tyler Schiller (54kg)
