Best Bet at Canterbury: Cold Gin
Although the form guide will say Cold Gin finished sixth debuting at Warwick Farm on April 16, the 1.4-length margin doesn’t tell the full story for the Ole Kirk filly. She should’ve been fighting out the finish with even luck, with the two-year-old held up behind a fall of horses when trying to get clear under Joshua Parr. Zac Lloyd gets legged aboard for this second-up assignment, and with the pair set to gain the economical run of the race from stall one, Cold Gin should bounce back to secure a maiden success in the Canterbury opener.
Best Bet
Race 1 – 
#9 Cold Gin (1)
2yo Filly | T: Bjorn Baker | J: Zac Lloyd (54kg)
Next Best at Canterbury: Brave One
Brave One returns after a 146-day spell and appears to be primed first-up after undergoing a gelding operation in his time away from racing. The team Hawkes-trained galloper caught the eye in his most recent piece of work at Rosehill on April 11, chasing impressively behind Givemethebeatboys, a horse that has proven competitive in stakes grade since. Zac Lloyd should gain a midfield spot with cover from barrier four, and with this BM72 contest a perfect kickoff point for the campaign, expect Brave One to be right in this when the whips are cracking.
Next Best
Race 5 – 
#8 Brave One (4)
3yo Gelding | T: Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes | J: Zac Lloyd (58kg)
Best Value at Canterbury: Heir Jordan
Heir Jordan had no luck in Highway company at Randwick on April 19, held up at a crucial stage to finish 2.3 lengths away from Ballinderry Sal. There’s no doubt the son of Speith would’ve been right in the finish had the breaks fell his way, unable to sprint has key rivals got to his outside. Stepping out to the 1550m appears the ideal setup for success, and with Heir Jordan only set to carry 54kg on his back in this BM78, expect this guy to give a good account of himself at the each-way price with horse racing bookmakers.
Best Value
Race 6 – 
#9 Heir Jordan (2)
5yo Gelding | T: Luke Musson | J: Jay Ford (54kg)
