Canterbury Tips July 9
Ranvet Handicap Tips (Race 1)
Canterbury Value Bet - Race 1 No. 8 Writego
She was spelled after a debut defeat as an odds-on fav and there were excuses in that December 31 attempt, where Writego was fractious in the gates and she then had to pass a vet examination.
A poor post-race recovery was also noted for the Chris Waller-trained filly in that Wyong appearance and she's been given time ahead of her second campaign.
Writego has completed two Rosehill trials leading into her return assignment and she's worked well in both heats, which includes a 900m heat win in good time for the June 20 set.
Brave Smash Yarraman Park Handicap Tips (Race 4)
Canterbury Roughie - Race 4 No. 5 Centenario
Following two fair trials, this Waterhouse & Bott-trained galloper was solid on return at Hawkesbury and Centenario was in restricted room via that June 26 event.
Wet ground shouldn't worry the ex-Kiwi in this second-up assignment, with his best Australian run coming on a Soft 7 and he'll only strip fitter with a run under the belt.
Blinkers and a lugging bit were removed ahead of his recent resumption, which suggests that Centenario is settling better in his work, while Regan Bayliss stays aboard here.
Broadsiding Darley Handicap Tips (Race 6)
Canterbury Next Best Bet - Race 6 No. 7 Braveheart
Peter Snowden is striking at 19% from his last 100 starters and it's been a good winter for the Randwick yard, with 11 winners recorded since the start of June.
Snowden prepares Braveheart, who is a younger brother of King Of Sparta (three-time stakes winner) and the three-year-old resumed as a gelding at Randwick-Kensington on June 25.
It was an encouraging third in a race taken out by a talented Axius, while Epic Proportions (dropping out of BM78 grade) filled second and Braveheart put nearly five lengths on fourth.
Headwater Vinery Stud Handicap Tips (Race 7)
Canterbury Best Bet - Race 7 No. 12 Hovland
This is a harder task for Hovland, but he's a progressive middle-distance/staying type and he's improved as the distances have increased in his second prep.
A maiden winner at start two before a spell, the son of Dundeel found 1350m too sharp via his Wyong resumption on May 8 and he just missed second-up when stepping to a mile.
Hovland comfortably put away a Hawkesbury BM64 field last start, where the three-year-old relished stepping to 1800m and getting to 1900m is ideal now fourth-up.
