Canterbury Race 1 - Schweppes Mdn Hcp
Waller runners dominate this race. Lloyd goes aboard LEONESSA (9) who gets the nod on the strength of good Saturday form, that being a close fourth over this trip at Rosehill when fresh from a spell last start. Drawn to enjoy the perfect run and when presented can quicken over the top of these. QUEEN'S GAMBLE (8) is the best chance to upset the premier trainer's grip on the race. Made up a stack of ground to finish second over today's journey when fresh from a spell here last time out. Didn't have the best of luck that day and is nicely placed to put the record straight. YOSHIDA (1) debuted over this course and distance on the same day as QUEEN'S GAMBLE's last run and finished second, running a slightly slower time. Plenty of scope for improvement so don't rule him out. PHANTOM MAJOR (2) just missed on debut at Newcastle recently. McDonald goes aboard so it is the stable's preference. Betting watch on GAULTIER (3) lining up for the first time since May 2025.

Bjorn Baker trained three-year-old gelding lining up for debut. Won a recent Rosehill trial. Inside barrier will assist chances. Looks above average so keep him very safe.

At debut, sat on the pace when 3rd of 9 at Warwick Farm 2yo C&G Mdn-Sw on July 15 over 1100m, slow going 4 len behind Castillo King carrying 56kg at $21. Cannot be underestimated.

Third race start. Promising on debut 3rd of 9 at Newcastle Bm64 on January 31 over 900m, 1.5 len behind Play My Song carrying 55kg at $16. Returned from break 2nd of 8 at this track 2&3yo F Mdn on July 22 over 1200m, slow going 1.2 len behind Krasina carrying 56.5kg at $5.50. Fitter for that run and will be tough to beat.

Second-up. First-up after four months 4th of 9 at Rosehill 2yo Hcp on July 18 over 1200m, on rain affected going; 1.3 len behind Joint Venture carrying 52kg at $9. Previously second-up 4th of 7 at Randwick Kensington 2yo F Osc on March 25 over 1100m, on a slow track; 6 len behind Reachin' Out with 55.5kg at $11. Will come on from that run and is the one they have to beat.

Facing the starter for the first time. Three-year-old filly by Pinatubo out of Guelph. At the most recent trial finished sixth at Rosehill over 900m. Prefer to see.
