The Money Trail – Canterbury, May 24

Racing and Sports finds the best-backed runners in early betting on Wednesday’s meeting at Canterbury.

Poetic Charmer (Race 1) is a well-supported favourite at $2.60, almost a point shorter than his opening price. The two-year-old is open to improvement on a solid debut when a 2L fourth in Saturday grade to Viridine with that colt franking the form by winning again since.

Forever Dream (Race 3) opened at each way odds but has been heavily backed, in more than three points and is is now an odds on favourite at $1.90. The three-year-old was also well supported when winning on debut and the punters are looking for history to repeat.

Thaad (Race 5) has halved his opening price to $4 and at that price is the new favourite. He was only beaten 2L in the Scone Guineas last start so will find the drop back to midweek company much more to his liking.
