Friday Racing Tips - Canterbury Racecourse 28/02/25

Big names look set to be out in force once again at Canterbury this Friday evening and all 7 races promise plenty of drama.

The stakes are high and the energy within the paddock will be buzzing, as some of the best horses in New South Wales battle it out.

OnlyRacing have insight from across all the markets, as they look to pick out the best bets of the day for you. 

(Note: Odds provided by Playup)

Selections:
6. Hurstville Zagreb - $1.75
2. Tapa Kick - $3.60
3. Fiorsum Fred - $9.00

BEST BET - Hurstville Zagreb - $1.75
James McDonald takes the ride on Hurstville Zagreb here, a hoop that feels pretty significant. This horse won very well on debut and is being asked to repeat the feat here and will take some stopping.

THE DANGER - Tapa Kick - $3.60
Winning last time out has moved Tapa Kick into a different realm and this will be a chance to mix it at this level. Conditions are similar and this horse comes from good stock but it will need to find an extra gear to win here.

VALUE BET -  Fiorsum Fred - $9.00
Another winner last time out, Fiorsum Fred will be looking to replicate its Tamworth herocis here at Canterbury. The trip looks similar and on paper, this is a genuine outsider.

Selections:
1. Sydney Bowler - $3.00
8. Agenda Setter - $4.40
2. Huon - $6.50

BEST BET - Sydney Bowler - $3.00
Three wins on the spin have got pulses raising for Sydney Bowler and a 4th looks to be on the agenda here. This will be all about speed at Canterbury and this horse looks versatile enough to challenge here.

THE DANGER - Agenda Setter - $4.40
A rather limp showing last time out isn't giving punters much to work with here on Agenda Setter but this horse has the potential to win this race. Conditions and the trip are ideal for this relative outsider.

VALUE BET - Huon - $6.50
Similarly, Huon hasn't been picking up the results connections want at the moment but this is a horse with bags of potential, who could compete in this strong field at Canterbury.

Selections:
1. World Alliance - $2.50
7. Vegas Raider - $6.00
5. Memoria - $11.00

BEST BET - World Alliance - $2.50
James McDonald has another big chance to land here at Canterbury, as he saddles market leader World Alliance. This horse has done the business plenty of times before at Canterbury and looks well placed to do the same again here.

THE DANGER - Vegas Raider - $6.00
Being in form is a bit of a prerequisite for this race and Vegas Raider is the pick of the bunch outside of the favourite. It won very well in order to qualify for this race last time out and it will be in the hunt again here.

VALUE BET - Memoria - $11.00
Another horse that tasted victory here at Canterbury last time out is Memoria and in this field of super speedy horses, perhaps this supremely talented horse has been overlooked.
