GOING: S(5)

COCA-COLA CANTERBURY GOLD CUP 2000m

Track: SOFT 5     True  

The race pace here looks okay so it should be a proper run G3 2000m event at WFA over 2000m. HE'S A DOOZY (2) is course-proven. G2 and dual G3 winner. One to beat here no matter the footing. PERFECT SCENARIO (1) trial winner recently. Dual winner here. Rider atop has won twice on him. MATSCOT (5) big win here at last start. Live on a hat-trick. Cannot be omitted. HARLECH (8) much improved at last two runs since being sent South. Triple G1 placed so fears none of these. DAZZLING MISS (10) has been racing consistently well. Trifecta and first four chance. SUGGESTED PLAY: He's A Doozy is a win wager.
