RACE FOUR

#2 Fiddler Blue (A) 25 Nothing for 3 on the turf, but has been asked to do way too much in those races. This is a better level. Could cruise.

#1 You Are True (C) 23. In the mood for a longshot? Crowd may not notice his bad races were on wonky surfaces. Listed at 8/1 and that would be fair. Gets Canterbury’s top rider.

13,T1w7,10w5,1,7,8=$16
