Mick Gannon – Canterbury Wednesday Best Bets 5/8/26

Race 1 – #8 Queen's Gamble $3.00

Queen's Gamble returned in terrific order over this track and distance, charging home into second after settling too far back off only a moderate tempo.

The run had plenty of merit, especially considering the race shape worked against her.

She strips fitter second-up, gets a more favourable setup and the form has already been strengthened with the winner performing well again.

From a kinder draw she can settle closer to the speed, giving her every opportunity to finish over the top of them late. Everything points towards her going one better.

Race 2 – #7 Glissando $2.00

Glissando couldn't have been more impressive winning at Kembla, putting her rivals away with ease despite never looking fully extended.

She gives every indication the rise to 1550 metres will only enhance her chances, and the draw allows her to settle in the perfect position throughout.

With natural improvement to come, an ideal map and the confidence of a dominant last-start victory, Glissando looks capable of making it back-to-back wins.
