The summer series of racing returns to the bright lights of Canterbury on Friday evening, with a competitive seven-race program set for decision. The rail moves back to the true position for the meeting, and with no rain forecast in the lead-up, punters should anticipate a Good 4 surface prior to the opening race at 6pm local time.
Best Bet at Canterbury: Superstitious
Superstitious produced a career peak on resumption at this course and distance on January 19 and appears set to go one better on Friday evening. The son of Snitzel chased home gallantly on the heels of Turned Down on that occasion, just hitting empty in the concluding stages to be defeated by less than a half-length on the wire. It was a bold effort to sprint off at such a moderate speed, and although there doesn’t seem to be much more tempo engaged in this 1250m contest, Joshua Parr gets the opportunity to be more positive from gate five. Watch for Parr to lead or sit one-off aboard the three-year-old, and when asked for the supreme effort, we’re confident Superstitious can figure in the finish.

Next Best at Canterbury: Autumnmation
Autumnmation powered into a runner-up finish on return at Canterbury on January 19 and almost proved victorious in a post-race protest. The claim was dismissed shortly afterwards, as Nash Rawiller attempted to make the argument his mount was impeded along in the inside running rail when searching for clear air. Would she have won the race? Jury’s out in that regard, however, you can’t deny the daughter of The Autumn Sun was closing best of her respective rivals. She returns to the scene of the crime second-up into the campaign, and with the extra fitness under her belt, watch for Autumnmation to finally go one better after finding the minor money in four of her five career starts.

Next Best Again at Canterbury: Enhance
The second race of the program has many intriguing first starters ready to make their respective debut, but we’ve been taken with the recent jump-out of Enhance for the Gerald Ryan & Sterling Alexiou stable. The colt by Exceed And Excel went on to score by 2.8 lengths at Rosehill on January 25 and did it under his own steam for Kerrin McEvoy. We love the front-running role he played on that occasion, and we’d love to see McEvoy adopt similar tactics on race-day conditions. Watch for this guy to ping the lids from barrier six, and when persuaded in the concluding stages, Enhance should give a bold sight for followers.
