Rosehill Race 4 Tips – 2011 Canterbury Stakes Betting

Races.com.au Favourite: #5 More Joyous – Rated Special to Win – Bet now at Luxbet

Don’t bet against – see above for why.

To Run Second: #2 Love Conquers All

Improving Mossman four-year-old is second favourite in the odds paying $7.50 through Luxbet.

Nice barrier two draw, Group winner during the spring and was impressive first-up when second to Centennial Park in the Group 2 Expressway Stakes (1200m) here.

Had a bad draw when fifth to Melito last start in the Apollo Stakes and will improve here not having to race so wide.

Third Place: #1 Rangirangdoo

Recent trials suggest last year’s Doncaster winner should be back in fine form when resuming here after a lengthy spell.

Although it’s been 11 months, Waller’s six-year-old has a good first-up record having won the Expressway Stakes over 1200m when resuming last campaign and Rosehill suits.

Exotics: #4 Demerit

Paying $15 for the win at Luxbet, won’t do that but won’t come last either.

Well-bred Lonhro four-year-old first-up for the season, ran third to Hot Danish in this race 12 months ago when resuming but doesn’t look as fit.

It seems to us that with such a diminutive field the bookies have it right and the order of our Canterbury Stakes selections follows that of the odds at Luxbet.

This combined with the fact favourite More Joyous is at such a short price means a better way to get value from your Canterbury Stakes betting is to jump in on the exotic selections at Luxbet.

Also we recommend looking at the futures betting markets for the upcoming Group 1 races the horses in the Canterbury Stakes field are heading towards.

For example, More Joyous is being aimed at the $2 million Group 1 Doncaster Mile (1600m) at Randwick on April 16.

In the early 2011 Doncaster Mile odds More Joyous is the $3 top pick at Luxbet.

So jump on her now at $3 to win the Doncaster Mile before she shortens in the market following another near certain win tomorrow in the Canterbury Stakes!
