Canterbury Best Selection & Value Play 18/6

Midweek Sydney racing heads to Canterbury this week. Our analyst likes a Archibald debutant that has been trialling the house down and a consistent Godolphin runner ready to break through as the value play.  

Best Selection: R2 – Straight Sets

It’s very easy to get excited from what we saw from Straight Set in 2 trials leading into her debut here. She has done it at both ends leading in her first trial at Warwick Farm and holding on for a 0.1L win before settling last and catching the eye hitting the line under hands and heels riding to record a 1L win at Rosehill. She’s been well-supported in early markets and should get a nice trail behind the speed.

Value Selection: R4 – Cinsault

This seems like D-Day for Cinsault looking to finally break through with a 6: 0-3-3 career record. She resumed over 1300m at Warwick Farm and endured a wide run behind the speed but still fought on gamely only to be claimed late by Frosty Girl to finish 1.6L 2nd with a 1.9L gap back to 3rd. She gets a lovely run from Gate 4.
