| What | Canterbury Races |
| Where | Canterbury Park Racecourse – King Street, Canterbury NSW 2193 |
| When | Monday, June 10, 2024 |
| First Race | 12:15pm AEST |
Metro racing returns to Canterbury Park Racecourse on Wednesday afternoon, with a competitive seven-part program set for decision. The rail is out +3m the entire circuit, and although the surface is rated a Heavy 9 at the time of acceptances, the track should be improving throughout the week thanks to sunny skies forecast on Monday and Tuesday. The first race is scheduled to get underway at 12:50pm AEST.
Best Bet at Canterbury: Loco
Loco looks set to peak third-up into the campaign after hitting the line well at Warwick Farm on June 5. The son of So You Think found the 1600m short of his best trip and lacking race-day fitness second-up after almost a year off the scene. He brings an element of class to this BM72, and although he needs to lug 60.5kg to victory, Loco should prove classy enough to get the job done.
Best Bet
Race 5 – 
#1 Loco (4)
4yo Gelding | T: Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) | J: Chad Schofield (60.5kg)
Next Best: Summer Loving
Summer Loving returns after a 262-day spell and looks perfectly placed in maiden company. The Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott-trained filly has gone winless across nine starts to date, with most of her runs contesting Group level competition, including a disappointing effort in the Flight Stakes (1600m) on September 30 to end the preparation. She won a trial by six lengths at Randwick on May 31 heading into this to build confidence, and with Tim Clark likely to adopt front-running tactics from stall four, Summer Loving should give followers a bold sight.
Next Best
Race 3 – 
#7 Summer Loving (4)
3yo Filly | T: Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott | J: Tim Clark (55kg)
Best Value at Canterbury: Houdini Spirit
Houdini Spirit makes his debut for the Gary Portelli barn on the back of an impressive piece of work at Hawkesbury on June 3. The son of Harry Angel cruised up to them with relative ease on that occasion, managing to put a three-length margin on his rivals with minimal urging. Zac Lloyd gets the appointment for race-day, and although he may have a difficult task crossing from stall nine, provided Houdini Spirit can get across without doing too much work, this guy should figure in the finish.
Best Value
Race 1 – 
#4 Houdini Spirit (9)
2yo Colt | T: Gary Portelli | J: Zac Lloyd (58kg)
