Early Mail and Blackbook Update For July 23

Early mail for Canterbury and Blackbook Update for July 23.

CANTERBURY SATURDAY

RACE 1 (4) HAIR TRIGGER: There is something about this youngster! His debut run over 1000m at Kembla Grange in April was a real eye catcher and he confirmed that promise when he resumed to win over 1200m at Wyong on June 30, easily rounding up his rivals on a slow track with something in hand. Poised to go on with it and while the topweight Thronum looks a classy type the 3kg weight differential brings them together on the affected track.

RACE 6 (13) CHEEKY BABE: Lightly-raced filly has missed a place just once in her six starts and is set to go on from an excellent first-up third over this course and distance on June 22 when she hit the line strongly from the back half after an awkward start. She has since had the benefit of a soft second in a Randwick trial and this looks the right choice of race for the dual acceptor as she drops a handy 5kg from a favourable inside barrier.

RACE 9 (6) SHAHRAZAD: Impressive win over this course and distance at first start for eight months on July 6 when she cruised around the field three and four wide to win eased down in the heavy ground by a clear margin. She clearly has an affinity for the Canterbury track - all her career wins and placings have been at this course - and she should again relish the expected strong tempo.
