Racing and Sports finds the best-backed runners in early betting on Wednesday’s meeting at Canterbury.

Retaliation (Race 2) has yet to taste defeat after two carer runs and the punters have backed him to continue the winning run, firming a full point to $3.20 favouritism. Both of his runs have come at the provincials and steps up to city company for the first time but he has the highest last-start rating in this field to suggest he is up to the class.

Kent (Race 6) has tightened his grip on favouritism and is now a clear market elect at $2.40 after shortening more than a dollar in early trading. He enjoys a massive drop in grade after resuming in Group 3 company and won his only other try at this track and distance when second up last campaign.

Faith's Encore (Race 7) opened at the head of the market but has only strengthened her dominance on betting as a $3.10 favourite after shortening a point-and-a-quarter. She was a dominant winner at her only run at Warwick Farm and is expected to be a stronger filly this time around.
