Chris Scholtz previews the Canterbury meeting on April 17 with best bets and selections for all races
TRACK RATING – Good 4 (3pm 12/04/24); RAINFALL – 20mm last 7 days; Nil last 24 hours; RAIL – True
Best Bets
RACE 4 (2) HOLLYWOOD HERO: Eye catcher when resuming in higher grade. Well placed this class and distance.
RACE 5 (4) EARTH DANCE: Not much went this import’s way when making his Australian debut. Sure to improve over this longer distance.
For Value
RACE 6 (5) ANAGAIN: Group performer fitter for good first-up placing. Can get home hard if the breaks go her way.
RACE 7 (8) STANISLAUS: Back to the trials since fair effort first-up. Expect improvement.
RACE 8 (6) RHETTARA: Lightly raced mare with plenty of upside. Trials point to a bold fresh performance.
