Canterbury Race 8 - Metro Petroleum (Bm72)
BENEATH THE ROCK (2) has started the season in style, winning fresh up by 3 lengths, then fighting on bravely for third off a tough trip as the favourite at Warwick Farm just over 3 weeks ago. She gets a big swing in her draw for this, and with the aid of a 2kg claim, she will be fighting out the finish again. Follow your money. KUJENGA (3) has improved in each run back from a spell, and ran on late for fourth over 1100m last start, finishing just under 2 lengths from the winner. JMac steps into the irons for the first time, and she should go close to winning this. MANUKAU (1) held on grimly to score by a nose last start after hitting the front early in the run home. This is no harder, and a 2kg claim means she carries the same weight. Stick with her. ANTILOPINI (8) ended her last season with a hat-trick of wins in the country. She resumes with 2 trials under her belt and will be very competitive fresh up, especially if the track is wet. MIDNIGHT LUNA (6) is worth including fresh.

Third-up today and placed third-up previously. First-up 6th of 10 in a Bm78 at Rosehill on October 10 over 1100m, 2.5 len behind Fierce with 53kg at $13. Second run from a spell 4th of 10 in a F&M Bm72 at Warwick Farm on October 28 over 1100m, slow going 1.75 len behind Manukau carrying 58kg at $17. Certainly worth another chance.
