CANTERBURY RACE PREVIEW - 5 APRIL 2008

RACE 2-PATINACK FARM CANTERBURY STAKES 1550 METRES 12.20 P.M.

Big O’s Oracle

1 – Racing to Win
2 – Mentality
3 – Sniper’s Bullet

Provided he’s recovered from his latest injury set back, Racing to Win should simply outclass the small field here. Back in winning form last time and form that race has held up thus far. Not that keen to have a bet in the race as small fields have a habit of throwing up surprise results.

Mentality didn’t have much luck last time out behind Racing to Win where he was caught wide and overraced a touch. Distance rise shouldn’t be a problem however, probably needs to get cover in the race in order to launch a challenge.

Sniper’s Bullet almost pulled off a last start victory in the Chipping Norton where he was in front until the shadows of the post. Still prefer him in handicaps as opposed to Weight For Age races however, he’s going well enough and the small field suits.

Shaggy's Selections

1 - Racing to Win

3 - Sniper's Bullet

2 - Mentality

Racing to Win had a minor injury set back since his last run, which was a super impressive win. Provided he is over that, should easily beat this small field.

Sniper's Bullet is racing consistently at present and did loom up as the winner before just peaking 50m from home last start. Is the main danger.

Mentality hasn't come up so far this Autumn, but look for improvement over this trip.
