Getting back in form - Bjorn Baker's Positive Problems is a big chance in Race 1 at Canterbury

The Golden Rose field is already out and the betting has started. It's shaping as a showdown between Godolphin's power horse ASTERN and the swooper from Waller's yard OMEI SWORD. Our Race Guide will be on-line Friday at 9am.

Until then we've got midweek cards at Canterbury and Sandown to have a look at. Whether you're in the office, on the site or on the track, three bets from the Analyst Team are shown below.

2pm Safe and Steady

"WALLOON REGION has been freshened-up and taken back to a better distance today at Sandown. He's in the right race, but doesn't get across the line first very often, so much better value in place markets."

Bet on WALLOON REGION to place at $2

2:15pm Time for the Baker?

" Bjorn Baker is a trainer that can run hot and cold. There's a few signs that he's on the way back from a lean spell and POSITIVE PROBLEMS won by a big margin last start. He can beat the favourites in the first."

Bet on POSITIVE PROBLEMS now at $4.6

4:15pm Country Mates

"There's more pressure here than Turnbull's cabinet meetings. With speed horses UNTAMED DIAMOND, ALLEZ CHIVAL and GRAND CONDER all firing to the lead and class horse REINCARNATE a risk in the wet first-up, country gallopers BURRADOO and JACK'S JET could be the way to go."

Bet on BURRADOO at $5.5 and JACK'S JET at $34
