Huon (Canterbury Race 7 No.6)
He was our best bet a fortnight ago and he was a tragedy beaten when finishing 0.8 of a length in second behind Destination. He was held up in the straight and it ultimately cost him the race. He has drawn well and should be able to get into a nice position throughout. He gets a vital 3kg off from Zac Lloyd which will help, and he has plenty of upside, so I expect him to be too good for these.
Current Price: $2.20
Best Each Way
Lalaguna (Canterbury Race 1 No.9)
This girl is first up following a nice first preparation, which culminated in a 4.7 length sixth in the Group 3 Breeders’ Stakes behind See You In Heaven at Morphettville. Her second up run last preparation at Ballarat was a two-year-old maiden race where she was narrowly beaten by a group winner named Golden Mile. Being her second preparation I expect her to be a lot better, she has the blinkers off first time and pre-race earmuffs on first time and she has had two excellent trials in preparation for this. She has drawn well, maps well, and carries no weight with the claim of Zac Lloyd. Happy to back her at the current quote.
Current Price: $6.50

Key Comments The rail is true. The track is in the soft range. This track usually favours those on speed. Best Bet Final Atom (Horsham Race 7 No. 1) Should land up on speed and prove hard to catch.

Best Bet Bungarribee Lad (Barcaldine Race 6 No. 3) Bungarribee Lad kept coming but couldn’t reel in the leader for 0.5 length 2nd over 1300m at Rockhampton last start.
