Mick Gannon – Canterbury Best Bets 17/6/26

Race 3 #1 Defensemen $8.00

A Coolmore-owned colt from the Chris Waller stable, Defensemen begins his third preparation after two encouraging trial performances leading into his return.

The fact he remains an entire suggests connections still see significant upside in the horse, while his trial form indicates he has returned in excellent order.

Importantly, he brings race experience into what appears a suitable assignment and should gain every chance from the expected run in transit.

Following scratchings, he is set to come into barrier six and maps to settle within the first half of the field.

With a soft run likely and improvement expected this preparation, he looks a strong betting proposition at the current quote.

Race 4 #7 Claudel $2.40

Claudel made an impressive debut when finishing second to the talented Beneath The Rock, putting a significant gap on the remainder of the field.

While the drop back to 1250 metres presents a minor query, she maps to settle in the first four and should receive every opportunity in a race expected to be run at an even tempo.

Her debut performance suggested she possesses above-average ability and she looks ideally placed to take another step forward.

Mick has her rated $1.95, making the current $2.30 quote attractive from a betting perspective.
