Canterbury Best Selection & Value Play 18/9
September 17, 2024
Midweek racing continues to throw up top quality fields as we get deeper into spring. We’ve selected a Matt Dale sprinter dropping back from a Saturday placing and a Waller 5yo that looks set to improve sharply stepping up in trip as the value play.
Best Selection: R6- Boston Rocks
Boston Rocks rates well returning to midweek company on the back of some solid Saturday form. He was only 2.1L behind Briasa at Rosehill and 2.3L off Our Kobison at Randwick the start before. That form reads outstanding for this and the 59.5kg looks manageable considering his main rivals carry similar without the strength of form.

Value Selection: R4- Unlimited
Unlimited’s 2L 3rd to West of Africa at Randwick 2 starts back is great midweek form. He was in the market again at Randwick last start but faded bad and vets revealed cardiac arrhythmia. He has had a 3-week break and they often bounce back well the following start after that condition with the market often not catching on.
He maps to land close enough to the speed with the rail out +8m and should be within striking distance on straightening.
