Have been looking forward to the return of Tracey Bartley’s speedy filly 2. Barossa Rosa. She was heavily backed on debut at Wyong but having sat outside of the leader was left a sitting shot before getting no luck at start two. She was spelled after that and returned with an effortless trial win on her home track.
How to play it: Barossa Rosa win.
Odds & evens: Split.

Race 4 – 7:15PM IRON JACK HANDICAP (1550M)
3. Space Is Deep stays at 1550m second up and draws wide but the price is just too tempting about this improving four-year-old. He won three of his last four starts before spelling and liked the way he speared to the line first up this time back. 1. Celtic Love keeps turning up preparation after preparation.
How to play it: Space Is Deep each way.
Odds & evens: Odds.
Race 5 – 7:45PM THE AGENCY REAL ESTATE HANDICAP (1900M)
1. Tochi loves Canterbury. It suits his front-running style, especially out to this trip where she can pinch a little break at the top of the straight. The mare’s track record reads 6:3-1-1. Her record over this distance is 5:4-0-0. Her record over the Canterbury 1900m is 4:3-0-0. Not sold yet? At the time of writing she is double-figure odds.
How to play it: Tochi each way
Odds & evens: Split.
Race 6 – 8:15PM ANZ BLOODSTOCK NEWS HANDICAP (1250M)
9. Pyrmont has been a tease for much of his racing career but the stars may have finally aligned. He carries just 51kg after the claim, draws low to stalk the speed and strikes a very evenly matched field. He hasn’t had much luck in his past two outings. On the topic of bad luck, surely 1. General Soho is due a change of fortune at this track.
How to play it: Pyrmont each way.
Odds & evens: Odds.
Race 7 – 8:45PM SUTTONS CITY KIA EVENING STAR (1550M)
5. Above And Beyond never got a crack at his rivals last start. Forget that. Prior to last start, the five-year-old had been racing as well as ever. First up at Randwick he handled a soft 7 rating to just miss behind Never Talk so as long as it’s not heavy, he should handle the going.
How to play it: Above And Beyond each way.
Odds & evens: Odds.
Race 8 – 9:15PM CANTERBURY NIGHT SPRINT SERIES – HEAT 1 (1100M)
In a race with so many exposed horses that have reached their limit, inclined to go with the lightly raced improver in 12. Hurt Money. The three-year-old colt with Peter and Paul Snowden jumps from a provincial maiden to a BM72 in town but he did it well firs-up and already boasts a second to The Face form back in July.
How to play it: Hurt Money each way.
Odds & Evens: Split.
