Race 1 — Schweppes Mdn Hcp 1100m · jumps Fri 13 Nov, 6:00 pm AEDT

Race preview

Canterbury hosts the Schweppes Maiden Handicap over 1100m at 6:00 pm AEDT on a Good 4 track under overcast skies. Water City is shortest in the market, followed by From Me To You, Bella Tatiana, and Posh Pommery. This is a maiden field for three-year-old fillies, and the early money is on a promising type that's already shown real heart at the trials.

Water City carries the top rating at 100 and jumps off the page as the pick. James McDonald rides from barrier one, and the form says everything — two narrow placings at Hawkesbury over 1000m and 1100m, fastest finishing sectionals last start, and the comment nails it: improver, fitter third-up. From Me To You, a $700k purchase out of a Group 3 mare, rates a real chance at the odds. Tim Clark stays aboard for debut, and while the recent trials were on the soft side, the three starts show improvement across the piece. Bella Tatiana, trained by the Price/Kent outfit, has won both barrier trials and carries real polish — a $170k half-sister to Listed winner Generosity with Tom Sherry in the saddle. The form is encouraging, though the trainer combo is holding against them statistically.

Posh Pommery looms as a live watch-the-betting runner. Rating 86, second-up after 20 weeks, she's backed by Waller and Kerrin McEvoy but was safely contained at Warwick Farm on debut. The numbers say she maps as a backmarker here and can step up this time in. She'Sagogo in barrier six rates well by map position at Canterbury — outperforming market expectations by 56% in that lane. It's a competitive maiden, but Water City's rating and last-start form make that selection our opinion.

AAP

Trials (4:2-0-1). $170k purchase. Half-sister to Listed winner Generosity. Carries the Price/Kent polish and turned in encouraging trial efforts. Tom Sherry stays aboard for debut. Consider.

ILB

3yo debutant by Russian Revolution for trainer Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) and has a positive gate. Success in a trial at Rosehill Gardens on Oct 19th. Watch early betting.

Related to Grade 2 winner Generosity; stable gets plenty of debutant winners; sire gets his share of decent sorts; has to be feared with signs of encouragement in profile.

RSIS

Career debut 3yo by Russian Revolution for Mick Price & Michael Kent (Jnr) and can find a nice position from the draw.

Trials (3:0-0-2). $700k purchase. Out of a Group 3-winning mare. Hasn't been all that far away at the trials. Tim Clark sticks for debut. Follow betting leads.

ILB

I Am Invincible 3yo on debut for Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott. Fitter for a trial at Royal Randwick on Oct 6th. Follow the money.

Yard has a good record with newcomers here; sire can produce useful types; related to 6½f winner Hakushu; one to consider with signs of encouragement in profile and the trainer is hot at the moment.

RSIS

Gai Waterhouse & Adrian Bott trained 3yo by I Am Invincible having first race appearance. Fitter for a trial at Royal Randwick on Oct 6th. Watch betting.

Fronting up for second campaign (20-weeks). With leading trainer but safely contained at Warwick Farm debut 24 Jun. Better for run. Comes back stronger and tuned with 2 trials and one who can step up this time in. Watch betting.

ILB

First up after a break. Started $9.50 and fairly underwhelming when 6th last run at Warwick Farm but having second race start. Has a nice turn of foot. Should go close.

Held on her debut at Warwick Farm at 17-2 in June; this only her second handicap outing; possible improver with outing under her belt although has plenty to find.

RSIS

Back after break. At 17/2 moderate showing when 6th last run at Warwick Farm but having second career run. Yet to place in all trials. Strong claims.

Promising 3yo. Picked up strongly from back half at Hawkesbury when in the market. Improver, fitter third-up. The top rater.

ILB

Managed to run 3rd beaten by 3/4L last run at Hawkesbury and has a nice advantage with a good alley. Tongue tie go on for the first time. Looks like a winning chance.

Missed out by half a length at Hawkesbury last month.

RSIS

Attacked the line when 3rd beaten by 3/4L last run at Hawkesbury and has a nice advantage with a good draw. Interesting gear change of tongue strap on first time. Looks like a winning chance.

AAP

Reasonable debut performance when battled to line at Wyong at a mammoth price. Benefits from the experience and has scope to improve.

ILB

Was $101.00 and lost ground in the run home when 7th last run at Wyong but fitter for debut run. Has plenty of early speed. Hard to see this being competitive today.

Not disgraced (beaten just under 4l) on her debut running over this distance at Wyong at 100-1 last month; if finding progression from her initial experience, warrants consideration.

RSIS

Was 100/1 and tailed off to finish 7th last time at Wyong but having second race start. Shows good early pace.

Resuming (19-weeks). Tested in stakes company on debut then beaten fav at Hawkesbury. Trialled twice since, latest at Warwick Farm 30 Oct. Sound claims fresh.

ILB

Fresh today after a break. Jumped at $1.85 and showed some merit late when 5th last run at Hawkesbury.

Favourite but out of the places when fifth at Hawkesbury over 5f (handicap) four months ago; also engaged in race 2 at Gundagai.

RSIS

Back after a break. At 5/6 made up ground when 5th last start at Hawkesbury.

Returns for second campaign (17-weeks). Had a low-key debut at Warwick Farm 15 Jul. Aided by 2 lead-in trials. Must show more this time in and hard to entertain without market support.

ILB

Back from a spell. At $61.00 didn't threaten when 9th last run at Warwick Farm but was on debut last time. Better to look elsewhere.

Finished ninth and beaten 7l first time out at Warwick Farm at 66-1 four months ago; improvement could be in the offing; entitled to be better for that run.

RSIS

Had a break from racing and returns to competition. Odds of 60/1 and weakened under pressure when 9th last start at Warwick Farm but fitter for debut run.

Second campaign (36-weeks). Further matured. Wasn't extended in latest Beaumont trial 6 Nov. Will need to improve on first prep.

ILB

Resuming after a spell of 36 weeks. Pushed past some when 5th last time at Newcastle. The large claim from Ms Olivia Chambers should help.

Came home fifth, beaten 6l, in February at Newcastle in a maiden; is passed over.

RSIS

Resuming after a break of 36 weeks. Made some ground when 5th last time at Newcastle. The large claim from Ms Olivia Chambers should help.

Odds correct as at Fri 13 Nov, 6:00 pm AEDT. Odds can change.
