10:45am - CANTERBURY LEAGUE CLUB HANDICAP | 1250m | | i

A handful of quality horses have scared most of them off here. The early speed sorted out between BEST STONE, VALDOSTANA and QUIET RIOT. Bjorn Baker's QUIET RIOT looked like something special in the trials and confirmed that on debut with a strong win over the talented Maidens Favra and Hulk. The time that day was good, the step up to 1250m seems to suit and he may only need to handle the conditions to win. VALDOSTANA beat BEST STONE a couple of starts ago and poses the biggest threat to the fav'. PLAQUETTE rates in the mix too and will be running on. [FORM GUIDE only]
