Best Bet at Canterbury: Eraantyva

The Chris Waller barn has taken its time with Eraantyva, who makes her debut in this 1100m maiden contest. The daughter of Zoustar has been to the trials on five occasions, with the latest piece of work catching the eye at Rosehill on April 23. Expect James McDonald to drag back towards the rear of the field from stall eight, but once asked for the ultimate effort, watch for Eraantyva to be rattling home.

Best Bet

Race 2 – #2 Eraantyva (8)

3yo Filly | T: Chris Waller | J: James McDonald (56kg)

+150 with Bet365

Next Best at Canterbury: Kings Valley

Kings Valley showed plenty on his Australian debut at this course and distance on April 17, sustaining a long run from near-last to finish in the minor money. Barrier three should allow Tommy Berry to sit much closer throughout the journey this time. If he can show a similar turn of foot when the whips are cracking, Kings Valley will go close to picking up his first victory.

Next Best

Race 4 – #1 Kings Valley (3)

3yo Colt | T: Ciaron Maher | J: Tommy Berry (58.5kg)

+210 with Neds

Next Best Again at Canterbury: Jewellery

Jewellery returns from a 426-day spell and finds a winnable BM72 contest for the fillies and mares. The daughter of Lonhro was a two-time winner last preparation before taking on the older horses in a BM68 at Warwick Farm, where she was narrowly defeated by a half-length. She has plenty of untapped ability, and with strong barrier trials giving the impression she’s returned in excellent order, Jewellery should be right in this.
