OUR experts give you an early shot at finding that elusive midweek winner as they look at the major cards around the nation.

CANTERBURY

NIC ASHMAN (The Daily Telegraph)

NOW’S THE TIME

Race 5, No.2

Has the right foundation to be winning over 1900m.

STEPHEN ZAMMIT (The Daily Telegraph)

NOW’S THE TIME

Race 5, No.2

From the leading yard of Chris Waller, he hit the line hard to just miss in a photo when runner-up over 1600m at Warwick Farm on March 19. Tackled the same track and distance and impressed with win there on April 8. Drawn wide here but that won’t be a disadvantage in the heavy conditions and the 1900m should suit. Will go very close.

GEELONG

ROD NICHOLSON

KING OF ENGLAND

Race 6, No.11

Up in class but drops 3.5kg on excellent effort when lost a plate when ran home strongly to be beaten a long neck at Sandown on debut for Robert Smerdon. Import who will appreciate extra 100m.

MURRAY BRIDGE

LINCOLN MOORE (The Advertiser)

BOJANI

Race 8, No.4

Good winner on his home track four starts back and past three runs have been sound for this. Chased home Woakwine and Stimulatte before a handy effort behind Clarify and has been freshened for the drop back to the 1400m. Looks each-way value.

BEN SCADDEN (The Advertiser)

SERBIAN CROWN

Race 6, No.3

This gelding certainly doesn’t win out of turn, with one win and 19 placings from 40 starts. But he wasn’t far off them last time at Gawler and draws nicely here. Worth a crack at each-way odds.
