4:05am - HEINEKEN 3 CANTERBURY STAKES | 1300m | Group 1 | i

A select field for this G1, the flashy colt STANDOUT takes on Godolphin's two power mares ALIZEE and SAVATIANO with a Kiiwi mudder thrown in for good measure. BEGOOD TOYA MOTHER should lead and roll along at a FAIR tempo, a galloper that could relish the conditions. STANDOUT is the one to beat though, a tough chestnut that beat ALIZEE by a margin fresh and is bred to love the conditions too. ALIZEE and SAVATIANO the big threats if the track isn't too chopped up, both mares with a rapid sprint if they can get a grip on the surface. THE BOSTONIAN right in the mix too fresh. MISTER SEA WOLF running on and capable of running a place if the track chops up. [updated Saturday 9am]
