Canterbury Best Selection & Value Play 9/7
July 9, 2025
Midweek Sydney racing lands at Canterbury today. Our analyst likes a Waterhouse/Bott 3yo that has placings behind Swiftfalcon and Emirate in his previous prep and a Waller filly that could be a big improver 2nd up as the value play. Â
Best Selection: R6 – Sovereign Hill
Sovereign Hill was heavily supported in Saturday company 1st up and appeared to have his chances dented when stepping slow and ultimately finished 3.6L 7th. He has placings behind Emirate and Swiftfalcon in Saturday company 11 months ago. I love the set up coming back to midweek company stepping up to 1250m for a kill. He should land outside lead at worst and could potentially cross to find the rail.
Value Selection: R1 – Marquisa
Maquisa looks over the odds. The Waller filly should take improvement off her 3.4L 3rd behind the impressive Stardeel at Kensington 1st up. I expect the form from that race to hold up and she drops 1.5kg at the handicap weight scale. She gets the benefit of Gate 1 settling around midfield behind a hot tempo. Tommy Berry sticks and if she gets the right split on the turn she could be strong late.
