Canterbury Horse Racing Tips 28/5/25

Midweek racing heads to Canterbury where the heavy track is set to play a major role.

With persistent rain in the lead-up and the rail in the True position, expect a clear pattern to emerge.

On-speed and rails in run could be the golden ticket.

Mick Gannon has pinpointed two key runners who not only bring strong fitness into the race but also map ideally to take full advantage of the conditions.

Best Bets for Canterbury by Mick Gannon 28/5/25

Race 1 #10 Mother Goose $3.70

Mother Goose steps out fourth-up and brings valuable race fitness into a wide-open affair.

From the inside draw and with a heavy surface likely to favour those close to the rail.

She maps perfectly to land on-speed and give a huge sight.

In testing ground and on a day where many are vulnerable late, she’s one of few with the setup to run the trip out strongly.

Race 7 #10 Kenmare Bay $4.40

Kenmare Bay is another who appeals on fitness and ability to handle the going.

This ultra-consistent galloper has placed in four of five runs this prep and looks well suited again here.

He’s shown he can handle rain-affected ground and is unbeaten in two starts over the 1900m trip.

From a low draw, he should find the rail in running.

With the expected pattern favouring those in that lane, gets every chance to go one better.
