Canterbury Race 3 - Captivant @ Kia Ora Mdn Plate
Chris Waller holds the key to the race. TI AMO TANTO (7) strips fitter after two runs at the provincials and ready to win from the inside gate. Warmed up late once out when third over 1200m at Wyong. Expecting Rawiller to get the best out of her. MIA BALLERINA (3) stretches out to this trip for the first time this prep and maps well. J Mac takes the ride after she was collared late when fourth over 1100m at Randwick Kensington in a Super Mdn. No excuses here. SEMIBREVE (5) courageous effort on the heavy (8) track on debut when a fighting nose second over 1250m at Newcastle. One for the exotics. ALL STAR (8) well bred colt who should have taken great benefit out of his debut sixth over 1100m here on February 28. Fitted with a recent 900m at Rosehill. Distance suits and will be closing off strongly.

First starter. Two-year-old colt by I Am Invincible out of La Luna Rossa. At the most recent trial was out of the placings over 1030m at Rosehill April 11. Prefer to see under race conditions.

Two-year-old filly (Bondi - Devils Arcade) has trialled on four occasions leading into today's race. Was third in a Kembla Grange barrier trial over 800m on April 7. Happy to risk without a significant market move.
