Our Canterbury Park Horse Racing Tips for Wednesdays meeting.
Blesk (Canterbury Race 6 No. 5):
This four-year-old Savabeel gelding trained by John O’Shea has been racing well this campaign. He was held up badly at the 400m and flashed home when he got clear at the 200m too late for 0.1 length 2nd over 1400m at Kensington on 10 March, then found the front at the 150m and came away for a 1.5 length win over 1600m at Warwick Farm on 31 March. He looks well suited here and should win.

Fastconi (Canterbury Race 8 No. 16):
This three-year-old Nicconi gelding trained by Chris Waller was the emergency for this race but will get a run now that there have been a few early scratchings. Last campaign he finished 1.5 lengths 2nd over 1200m at Rosehill on 20 November, then was not fully tested when 2.5 lengths 7th over 1300m at Warwick Farm on 9 December. He resumes from a 19 week spell following gelding and should be fit after two trials. Is worth an each-way bet.

Avion Fury (Canterbury Race 7 No. 6):
This four-year-old More Than Ready gelding is the early favourite in this BM 72 handicap over 1900m. He finished 3.6 lengths 7th in the Group 3 Sky High Stakes over 2000m at Rosehill on 13 March, then made some ground from well back to finish 5.9 lengths 5th in the Group 3 Neville Sellwood over 2000m at Rosehill on 3 April. He is down in grade but offers no value at the short price.

Horse Racing Tips: VIC Saturday 18th May 2024
Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The feature races include the Straight Six (race 7) and the Andrew Ramsden (race 8). The best bet looks well placed to bounce back and very hard to beat if finding its old form. Best Bet Niance (Flemington Race 3 No. 7) Had excuses last start when bungling the jump. Looks really hard to beat if finding its old form and there was so much to like about the wins prior. Looks way over the

Key Comments The rail is out 4 metres. The best bet comes up in the second race and is a very progressive type that can continue on its winning spree. Best Bet Affluential (Werribee Race 2 No. 4) Has been on a winning spree and showing no signs of slowing down. Should land in a beautiful spot from the draw and no reason to suggest it can't win again on the way to better races. Check odds on SmartB Analyst:

Key Comments The rail is true. Racing on the synthetic. The best bet comes up in the first and just needs even luck from the barrier to be winning. Best Bet Howgoodisvegas (Canberra Race 1 No. 1) 2 wins on the trot and both of them have been convincing. Should be able to slide forward from the wide draw and make It three in a row.
