A comprehensive look at the chances of every runner in the group 1 $ 750,000 Toyota forclift Canterbury Stakes (1300 m) in Randwick on Saturday.
1. CEOLWulf (Joe Pride): It would be hard to contest his claim as the best horse in the race, but he is anything but the most suitable because he was trained for a mile seconding and has to deal with 1300 m instead. This is probably taking its excellent second record from the game. Made a nice return in the Apollo, which was over Sistina's shoulder, and we were all looking forward to the reserves on 1600 m. It is not to be. You don't support him, or maybe it could mean that he can only land in the second half instead of withdrawing. All connections would probably be cheerful that he will charge a place or on the heels of the top three, and that would be a solid set for the rest of the autumn, although a bit of rain can give him a sneaky chance.

2. To shock here (Ben, Will & Jd Hayes): Lindsay Park can certainly have these strong walls, which take their shape for long periods of time, and here is another example. His runs were distributed in the spring in the spring and in the spring in the season, he had a mistake in the large dance, but the cardiac arrhythmia forgives and had two sturdy speed victories in Supernova and a sprint -1 sprint in Modern Zealand. In a race that is not stacked on paper at speed, he will certainly get a nice run from this inexpensive gate and give a sight. This is a decent class test for him who looks through the field that would be the main request. I would probably not have a weighty track at this level.
3. Airman (Michael, Wayne & John Hawkes): Hit and Miss Sprinter, who could sprint with them in the expressway, even though he had a reasonable run behind a sluggish pace. Only 1-3/4 beaten, but also beaten one house. He found his best to achieve an furious victory in the premiere in spring, but usually fights against the real topliners. He became fitter and put on to get his chance, but a victory here would be another surprise.
4. Militarize (Chris Waller): Comeback Kid now a gelding and he develops pretty well with his few exams and exhibition gallop that leads to his return. The last time we saw him, he chased Fangirl home and was placed in group 1 in Randwick Guineas, George Ryder and Doncaster. He will obviously improve what he does in this race, but he has received a velvety preparation and it is not as if he is violating an injury. No surprise to see him strongly at the finish line and, especially if it is rained, no surprise if he accidentally wins.
5. Pericles (James Cummings): Generally a consistent artist who may lack the class at weight level about this type of trip. Real excuses for his first failure, in which he had EIPH, that he explains that he falls off after a nice run in the future. If it comes back 100 m, draws a long way, so it takes something to seriously set off to beat some. But to get worse in five second runs than the second, this is the positive for him, but almost the only one. Next time.
6. Royal Patronage (Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott): Import, which was able to last over 1400 m, to defeat Amelias Juwel and then to complete the weight for age and to measure well with a few solid efforts on a mile behind Fangirl and Ceolwulf. He is a natural stay of Pacer who was pulled wide. Expect that he will be exhausting to get the speed, and if he feels comfortable, he could give a good sight. If he can't find a place, he could find it a little more hard. I won't sell it briefly.
7. Heavenly legend (Les Bridge): He is a real query runner, this time last year he was the recent star on the block with his winning by Randwick Guineas and Doncaster, but was missed in spring with three fair efforts. He tests like a horse that is already looking for a mile, and maybe further, since he only warmed up at the end of his 1200m process. He could find this velvety fresh, but expect that if he is back in business for autumn, he will storm home. And if we happen to be on a humid route, it should be rated a little differently, and as a stronger chance.
8. Caps (Gary Portelli): Looked difficult to beat in the Liverpool City Cup last week, but had to be scratched with a little problem. So he takes on a much harder task over the same track and distance. There is a group 1 in this horse when he gets the right race, but it is probably not. Usually it runs fresh and did the last time before he won the Theo brand. He attracted a nice passage and tends to do his best when it is stopped for a behind schedule outbreak. Will improve what he is doing here and wait until he returns to a handicap.
9. Sunshine in Paris (Annabel NeaSham & Rob Archibald): Enjoyed an excellent spring that began with a win against the mares and won with a weight of the Group 1 sprint. Between them she was brave in the Everest tab and gave Bella Nipotina too much in the bald head in Russell. Her two exams were excellent and followed Harry Harry in the last over 1000 m and looked in good condition last weekend. A gentle route would not harm your chances and the outer gate may compensate for, but she would like to risk it freshly if it were so far.

10. Magic time (Grahame Begg). She has a great Randwick record that lasts an all -round win of Group 1 on a weighty route last year. There are many pluses that come with it, it is versatile from a racing pattern perspective and guarantees all soil. If she improves in this second run, what she often does, it is threatening.
11. Stefi Magnetica (Bjorn Baker): Racing through a gigantic part of spring without luck, especially in the golden eagle, but what spring showed was that it had exceeded her Stradbroke win with only 50 kg to the large leagues. I just missed freshly in spring at 1100 m and because this time she still had a solid property with a few nice test efforts. Middle Draw is practical because she is usually a back market or at least midfield in her race and a bit of sting would not do her chances. When she arrives again, she is a great chance.
12th Switzerland (Chris Waller): A lot on the game for this group 1 winner of the Colt to make the transition to age for age. The best of the three -year -olds, when he was resumed in flash in Flemington, not sure whether the 1000 m was simply too piercing for him or whether the rain disabled him that day. In both cases, it was a bit disappointing for a favorite of 2.45 US dollars. Jumps at 1300 m, it was no more than 1200 m, draws wide and was able to hit another humid route. He is unbeaten at Randwick in three attempts and nothing to complain about with his work last week. The JMAC factor will keep it on the market and it is a chance, but only one chance.
Speed card: The tour is probably here to shock it if he wants it, and then there are decisions to make. Aviation and magical time have the ability to be right there. The royal patronage and Pericles are known about a little more ground on Pacers, but they have dragged on and can be forced to push forward. Switzerland could go forward or back. Track state and every pattern can determine this card.
