Godolphin will look to continue their strong form at the midweeks with a strong team of winning chances at Canterbury.
Fresh off training four of the seven winners at Warwick Farm last Wednesday, John O’Shea takes six runners to Canterbury.
He saddles up favourites in three of the four quaddie legs and all on last start form are deserved of that tag.
Deciphering which of them has the strongest winning claims is difficult however the stable might be saving their best until last in the form of Circular.
Circular contests the Tab More Than Winning Benchmark 69 Handicap (1550m) after a strong first up effort when placing over 1400m at Warwick Farm a fortnight ago.
The filly ran to a Timeform rating of 85 on that occasion, a figure which already holds her in good stead amongst this line up.
The daughter of Street Cry does however possess a master Timeform rating of 97.
It highlights what the three-year-old is capable of getting to and she is largely expected to take another step in that direction on Wednesday.
She will strip fitter and has won second up previously.
From an inside barrier Circular can potentially enjoy all of the favours midfield in transit.
Think Aloud shapes as a main danger having placed over 1350m at Wyong.
The daughter of Northern Meteor is another who is open to substantial improvement early in both her campaign and career.
Boys Day Out heads up the highway after making all on his home track over 1200m 12 days ago.
The gelding is flying at present having won over 1400m at Kembla Grange the start prior.
He is well drawn and comes in nicely at the weights after the 3kg claim of apprentice Koby Jennings.
The race begins to fall away noticeably after the above mentioned trio.
Encosta Line while known to mix his form is capable on his day.
Japanese import Meiner Freccia was disappointing last start at Wyong after a strong Newcastle win at his Australian debut.
On best form produced while racing in Japan, he must be considered a chance in this line up.
It is Circular though who looks most likely to land the prize and wrap up what could be another winning day at the midweeks for the Godolphin Blue.
