Metro racing returns to Canterbury Park Racecourse on Wednesday afternoon, with a quickfire seven-part program set for decision. The rail is out +6m the entire circuit for the meeting, and with no rain forecast throughout the week, the surface should maintain its Good 4 rating. The opening event is scheduled to get underway at 1:25pm local time. Check out our best bets and quaddie numbers down below.
Best Bet at Canterbury: High Dandy
High Dandy couldn’t have been more impressive returning at Hawkesbury on August 13. The son of Ace High demoralised his rivals from the jump, making every post a winner as he careered away to score by seven lengths going away in Class 1 company. The four-year-old still has plenty of upside heading into start seven, and provided Tyler Schiller can send this guy forward and adopt similar tactics, High Dandy should prove extremely hard to chase down in the Canterbury finale.
Best Bet
Race 7 – 
#9 High Dandy (2)
4yo Horse | T: Brad Widdup | J: Tyler Schiller (57.5kg)

Next Best at Canterbury: Mascaret
Mascaret was finishing off the best of the beaten brigade at Rosehill on August 17. The six-year-old made a sustained run down the centre of the course, and although she was no match for Etna Rosso, she was clearly the one to take out of the race of those in behind. The Benjamin Osmond 3kg claim should prove vital to her winning chances in this BM72 contest, and provided she can sit closer in transit, Mascaret should be powering over the top to claim her third-career victory.

Race 5 – 
#3 Mascaret (6)
6yo Mare | T: Chris Waller | J: Benjamin Osmond (a3) (59.5kg)

Next Best Again at Canterbury: Mawjood
Mayfair and Mawjood fought out the finish at Rosehill on July 20, with the former just getting the upper hand in the shadows of the post. He was unable to sustain his run sitting outside the leader on that occasion, with the 1200m proving a bridge too far second-up into the campaign. The Hawkes team sent the three-year-old to the trials to keep him up to the mark heading into this 1100m contest, and with Zac Lloyd likely to bound across and lead throughout the journey, Mawjood should give followers a bold sight turning for home.
Next Best Again
Race 4 – 
#6 Mawjood (7)
3yo Gelding | T: Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes | J: Zac Lloyd (55.5kg)
+130 with Neds
