Canterbury Race 6 #9 Twilight Affair $4.20
This extremely lightly-raced 5YO Zoustar mare looks a terrific chance to make it win number two of her career.
Her first-up run at Rosehill over the 1100m was solid when finishing fourth.
She was up on speed with the smart 'Shades Of Rose', who has won again since and only tailed off late.
That horse looks up to stakes grade so the final margin was forgiving.
She drops back in grade to her own sex second-up and the step-up in trip to 1250m is perfect.
The expected conditions look ideal, with her only win to date coming on a Soft 7 track.
While she does come up against a smart horse in 'Roots', look for her to get the favours being on-pace, with just 55.5kg on her back.
She gets gun front-running jockey Tim Clark aboard and draws a gun gate in barrier 2 (where 18.4% of winners come from when the rail is in the true position at Canterbury).
Her trainers Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott have the top winning strike rate of any trainers with horses at Canterbury (minimum 2 runners).
Look for her to be hard to run down and attempt to lead all-of-the-way.

Canterbury Race 5 #5 All England $12.00
This now 4YO gelding has been given plenty of time to mature over the past year.
In previous preparations, his barrier manners have been poor and resulted in him travelling constantly at the rear of the field.
At his only trail before this first up run, he jumped a lot sharper and actually led the field up.
He possesses a powerful turn of foot and was able to show it, going barrier to winning post unchallenged.
If the Snowdens have managed to correct his pre-race behaviour he could be in for a massive prep.
He has drawn a midfield barrier and gets the booking of Sam Clipperton, a great positive rider.
This is a strong lead they plan to be positive with him from the gates.
If he can settle midfield or on-pace, he can explode around the bend and get a deserving second victory.

Ipswich Race 1 #7 Spillify $2.35
This 3YO filly looks ready to get her first win on the board, in a maiden where all runners have exposed form.
She ran on well at her only two starts and will eat up the extra distance now, up to 1350m.
Apprentice Angela Jones claims 3kg which brings her down nicely to 54 kgs and can give her the run of the race just behind the leaders.
She will be finishing off hard and from what we've seen of this field to date, she appears to have their measure in class.
