(Note: Odds provided by Playup)

Selections:
#9 Just Glamourous - $2.70
#6 Little Jeanie - $5.00
#5 Misterkipchoge - $7.00
#4 Sweysive - $5.00

BEST BET - #9 - Just Glamourous - (BEST BET)
Ready to hit peak form now. Came 2nd last start at Warwick Farm with Rachel King in the saddle. In good form at the moment, so hopefully that continues.

THE DANGER - #6 - Little Jeanie
The last race for Little Jeanie was a 3rd place finish at Warwick Farm over 1300m. I think it can run well again in this race.

VALUE BET  - #5 - Misterkipchoge
Last race, Misterkipchoge was 6th out of 7 at Warwick Farm on September 4 on a good track over 1300m, 4.6 lengths behind Sir Artie (58.5kg) with 57kg at $6.50. But it should improve here. Very good career record in second-up situation.

Selections:
#8 Fire Star - $4.00
#4 Boston Rocks - $3.40
#7 Ravenclaw - $8.00
#3 Shines - $4.80

BEST BET - #8 - Fire Star - (NEXT BEST)
On September 11 at Randwick-Kensington in a BM72 over 1000m, Fire Star started slow and finished 5th out of 8, while carrying 57kg at $6.50 odds. But, likes running at Canterbury, among the dangers for sure.

THE DANGER - #4 - Boston Rocks
Boston Rocks showed some promise at Rosehill last time. In it's last start, Boston Rocks placed 3rd out of 11 in a BM78 on August 31 over 1100m, on a good track, just 2.2 lengths behind Blanc De Blanc (59.5kg) with 55.5kg at $6.50.

VALUE BET  - #7 - Ravenclaw
Good stats at the distance and McDonald on board. Could run a place.

Selections:
#6 Seascape - $2.70
#10 Killcare Beachgirl - $5.50
#2 Terrestar - $9.50
#1 Countyourblessings - $3.90

BEST BET - #6 - Seascape
With Tommy Berry on board last start, won at Canterbury (1200m). So hopefully that form continues into Wednesday's race. On Wednesday, Tommy Berry is in the saddle and knows how to win. Get on board. In good form at the moment, so hopefully that continues.

THE DANGER - #10 - Killcare Beachgirl
Last run was a 5th finish at Randwick over 1045m in a Barrier Trial-Open. But, I think Killcare Beachgirl could run well here from barrier 3. Likes running first-up.

VALUE BET - #2 - Terrestar
Terrestar showed some good form at Rosehill last time. In it's last start, Terrestar placed 3rd out of 7 in a Barrier Trial Open on September 5 over 900m, on a good track, just 1.5 lengths behind Broadsiding. Has good career stats when it's third-up.

Playup is my top selection for Racing this week as they are providing some of the best overall fixed odds amongst the Australian bookies at the moment for racing.

They cover all Australian thoroughbred racing and are quite comprehensive in their international racing markets.

Tommy Berry could have a huge day on Wednesday with a total of 6 runners at Canterbury.

Rx - Kings Commission - $odds
Rx - Espinho - $odds
Rx - Need Some Luck - $odds
Rx - Little Jeanie - $odds

On a day filled with fierce competition and horses that are pumped for the races, it's wise to approach multi betting with caution. I've leaned towards horses with favourable barriers, decent weights and in-form jockeys. These factors can often make a real difference in such tightly contested races. Check out my multi of the day below for an exciting bet to follow throughout race day!

Canterbury R5 - #9 Just Glamourous - PLC $1.35
Canterbury R6 - #8 Fire Star - PLC $1.55

Canterbury Racecourse Trifecta Tip (R4)

Promotions are traditionally the primary way for punters to create an edge over the bookies, as they can save your cash when your runner fails to win, in the instance of Unibet they often offer 2nd and 3rd money back in bonus bets for a selection of races on the midweek and Provincial racing days. Coupled with their generous odds I have to put them as the top bookie promotion wise at the moment for Australian racing. 

If you are looking for the best promotions this week for Wednesday's racing I wouldn’t look past Unibet, often they offer odds boosts in addition to the money back promotions. Don’t forget to check your account as well for personal offers. 

Promotions often change so make sure you sign up at unibet.com.au to see what promotions are applicable to you and you may even be surprised to find some promotions that weren’t mentioned here!
