THOROUGHBREDS

Canterbury: Race 7; #8 Fairway Star 

Fairway Star is well in this market and recent runs have rated quite well, but she generally does her best work on good rated tracks and will likely be met with a wet track here today. While the track is likely to improve into the soft range rather than a heavy, her form suggests a dry track suits better. She may also settle off midfield in the run meaning she may be needing luck late in the run also.

Doomben: Race 2; #6 Strapperoo 

Has produced excellent closing sectionals his last two starts and the step up to this trip looks ideal. My concern is that he generally gets back in the run and if he doesn't show good early speed it may be impossible to win from the back with the rail out 11m.

GREYHOUNDS

The Meadows: Race 1; #1 Norm's Lucy 

Norm's Lucy has opened up very short in early markets. She was a much improved effort last start but the small field may be a negative for her as it may allow Paw Helion and Paw Flash to land in a more forward spot early doors and they could run over the top of Norm's Lucy in the closing stages.

The Meadows: Race 2; #5 Akela Ola 

Akela Ola was backed like it couldn't lose here last week. She got the job done but it was a very strange run. She didn't seem to hit the line well, but still won. The winning time of 35.49 would be as slow as has ever been run at The Meadows and there was nothing wrong with the track on the night.
