Friday Racing Tips - Canberra 27/12/24

Often dubbed the most wonderful time of the year for a variety of reasons, Christmas horse racing is an absolute staple of the Australian sporting calendar.

As ever, OnlyRacing have all the latest insight from the paddock, helping you find the very best bets.

(Note: Odds provided by Playup)

Selections:
3. Tenniel - $2.20
6. Final Reset - $4.00
7. Gatchan - $6.00

BEST BET - Tenniel - $2.20
Tenniel is a horse that is trying to piece together some form this season, following a very successful last term. It has been entered into this race to win and it should be better for an outing in Hawkesbury last week, making it the one to beat.

THE DANGER - Final Reset - $4.00
Another serious strong contender in the opener here at Canberra is Final Reset, a horse that has picked up some good results over the past couple of seasons. This is a good type of trip for Final Reset and it could go well.

VALUE BET - Gatchan - $6.00
Despite not much form to go off here, Gatchan is a horse that will relish the 2000m trip and stamina should be no issue. With plenty stepping up in distance, Gatchan could be the good value punt.

Selections:
3. Soul Taker - $2.50
9. More Than Bubbles - $2.90
4. Two Aye - $7.00

BEST BET - Soul Taker - $2.50
Having found the 2000m trip here at Canberra a bit too hot to handle last time out, Soul Taker is reducing down to 1600m - a distance that looks far better suited. It knows its way around this course very well and should be bang in the mix.

THE DANGER - More Than Bubbles - $2.90
The placing of More Than Bubbles in the betting market is representative of talent rather than form but this horse comes from serious stock. It is finding its feet at this level and should be better for a couple of runs lately and it could tear up the opposition if it gets a run.

VALUE BET - Two Aye - $7.00
It would be a triumphant return to form for Two Aye, who has struggled to build on initial promise of late. This should be an ideal type of contest though, should Two Aye manage to hit its stride.

Selections:
7. Smarter Than You - $4.00
5. Astunner - $4.20
1. La Sante - $6.00

BEST BET - Smarter Than You - $4.00
A super win at Nowra last time out will be a huge tick in the box for those getting on board with Smarter Than You. This distance is a good fit for this horse and it should run well here in the capital.

THE DANGER - Astunner - $4.20
Form this season hasn't been too strong for Astunner but the threat it carries in this race remains. It is never far away though, boasting a 50% placing record and punters should keep a keen eye here.

VALUE BET - La Sante - $6.00
Being in the winning groove can be key in a contest such as this and La Sante won impressively at Canberra last time out. This is a step up in distance and quality but La Sante remains a serious contender at a good price.
