Best Of The Best: Our Friday Specials – Canterbury 21/1

Last Wednesday wins to both De Grawin and Travest returned 9 units of profit. For 2022, we sit on 9.8 units of profit with 3 wins and 1 2nd from 4 tips. Today we focus on Canterbury’s night meeting.

Canterbury Race 3 – Jal Lei

  • Trainer: J O’Shea
  • Jockey: T Berry
  • Barrier: 5

Jal Lei returns from a spell after 2 consecutive wins last preparation. The Sebring filly impressed me when finishing 2nd in a Rosehill trial earlier in the month. She camped behind the leader and knuckled down strongly late to hold out the classy stakes performed Tiger of Malay. This 6 horse field looks a great race to kick off her campaign.

Tip: 2 Units Win Jal Lei @$1.8 with TopSport

Canterbury Race 7 – Quatenus

  • Trainer: J Cummings
  • Jockey: K McEvoy
  • Barrier: 3

The form guide and market predicts the final race of the evening to be a 2 horse race between Nasturtium and Quatenus. I am willing to take the better odds with the consistent Quatenus who has not finished outside the top 3 in 4 runs this prep. Last start she sat wide and still managed to win a fillies and mares BM 72 at Warwick Farm.

Whilst Nasturtium has been a dominant winner in 2 career starts at the provincials, the form from those races hasn’t stood up. The horses that finished 2nd and 3rd at Gosford last night have struggled to pass a horse in the same grade next start.

Tip: 2 Units Win Quatenus @$2.7 with TopSport
