A 5YO flyer from the Godolphin stable will relish the extra furlong at Canterbury on Wednesday and Prof. Robert Furlongsworth is all over the rising star to salute.
For his value bet, the racing guru is backing a 4YO to bounce back from a rough first-up run.
Best Bet
Canterbury (Wednesday)
Race 5, 1100m
High Plateau ($3.00, $1.45)
Rising Godolphin 5YO who set himself a task first-up under 61kgs in a 900m scamper at Newcastle after being slowly away.
Liked the way he got to the line though and appears primed to run well over the extra furlong here.
Tip: Win

Value Bet
Race 4, 1250m
Whinchat ($8.00, $2.50)
Put the pen through his first-up run where he over-raced badly and was spent a long way from home.
Has upside and drawing out may not be a disadvantage.
Tip: Win

David has a high opinion of speedy colt WHINCHAT who was on his very best behaviour and justified the market support with a dominant win at Hawkesbury 🚀
